About Katia
Katia has spent her career helping either people or the planet and more recently, her work in the wellbeing space led her to the realisation that longevity is the final product of our life choices and activities.

The way we live our second half of life is outdated: it’s time to change the system and our mentality around preventative health and longevity. With Australia lagging behind other countries, she believes it’s time for us to form a down-under longevity community and industry that will catalyse necessary change, as well as create new products and services to prolong our nation’s healthy year

From this Katia has started the Lumen Longevity Festival, a dynamic and collaborative environment where individuals and organisations from various sectors and across startups, investors, industry, and government can come together to shape the future of longevity in Australia.
