About

Anna Wright is the Founder and CEO of BindiMaps, a navigation app that revolutionises the way we navigate indoor spaces. With over 24 years of experience as a business consultant and a senior lecturer, Anna has a PhD in Accounting and is a Fellow and Practicing Certificate holder of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand, as well as a Registered Tax Agent.

Anna developed the idea for BindiMaps after undergoing years of major surgery to save her own eyesight, which inspired her to create a more accessible world for people with vision impairment. BindiMaps is an award-winning smart cities technology startup that provides a navigation tool that works where traditional GPS does not - inside major public precincts such as university campuses, airports, shopping malls and office buildings. BindiMaps offers increased convenience for most, while fundamentally changing the lives of people with vision impairment, allowing them to navigate public spaces independently and safely. Anna is a recognised leader in the startup ecosystem, lighting a path for non-technical founders to start and build tech companies that can change the world. She was nominated for 2019 Australian of the Year and listed as one of the top 10 Australian Entrepreneurs for her leadership and commitment to creating a more inclusive world through BindiMaps.
