Sharon Hunneybell
Chief Executive Officer, The Gold Coast Innovation Hub
I have a passion for technology, innovation and collaboration and a keen interest in promoting and increasing youth participation in startups and technology.
With over a decade of experience in software development and project management, I have held senior roles in some of Australia’s fastest growing companies including multi award winning software company, Opmantek.
In 2017, I drove the formation and launch of the Gold Coast Innovation Hub (GC Hub). The GC Hub is a not for profit organisation that has received Federal, State and Local government support to deliver a citywide innovation strategy that will provide infrastructure and services to support new business growth in the city. It is anticipated that the GC Hub project will have a $3Billion economic impact on the Gold Coast over the next 5 years.
I have also co-founded a number of initiatives, including Startup Apprentice with Sam Winter, which launched on the Gold Coast in 2013. The organisation delivered Australia’s first in curriculum high school startup accelerator program, introducing a new generation to entrepreneurship and paving the way for many other organisations to launch in the space. Since then, thousands of students across the city have participated in Startup Apprentice led workshops, events and programs, Startup Apprentice is also a foundation partner in the Mayors Telstra Technology Awards.
In 2018, I had the honour of being named by the Australian Financial Review as one of Australia’s 100 Women of Influence. I have also been recognised as a Startup Leader in the Westpac Community leader awards and named, alongside Sam Winter as an ‘Innovation Champion’ by the Queensland Government for contributions to the Gold Coast Startup Ecosystem in 2015.

Laura Johnstone
I joined the Accounting world as an intern while obtaining my business degree. That early insight and the company’s culture sparked my desire to help businesses chase down their dreams.
11 years later, as a Director at William Buck, I assist privately owned businesses to achieve their financial goals. I have a first-hand understanding of the issues private businesses are facing and what makes them tick through my husband’s commercial construction business.
My client-centric approach is based on providing collaborative advice, which is a blend of strategy, compliance and business advice, with a strong focus on my client’s needs first, regulations second.
My expertise is based on a profound legislative knowledge and understanding the client’s point of view which I use to solve complex problems. I thrive on being a trusted advisor and derive satisfaction from assisting my clients in growing their business and knowing they can ‘sleep at night’ as their business is well taken care of.
My Expertise and Specialisations are:
- Taxation
- Periodic management reporting
- Benchmarking
- Building and construction
- Technology and innovation
- Privately owned businesses
- Tax planning and tax research
- E-Commerce and Global Business
