Julie Perkins is the founder of Wyseminds, a platform dedicated to supporting women entrepreneurs with purpose-driven growth strategies that align business success with everyday personal fulfillment. She firmly believes that purpose-led growth, backed by financial confidence and clarity, is the foundation of a sustainable business. Driven by her vision “to never lose a great idea led by a women founder” Julie all women entrepreneurs strip away complexity, focus on the right next step, and build businesses that thrive on their own terms.

Before launching Wyseminds, Julie led Specsavers to market leadership in the Netherlands, their first expansion outside the UK, later joining the board team to drive expansion across Northern Europe. Now, she’s on a mission to help more women step into their power, ensuring they have the confidence, knowledge, and strategy to grow, scale, and claim their space in an investment landscape that too often overlooks them.

As an author, speaker, and podcaster, Julie is passionate about reshaping the conversation around women entrepreneurship—empowering women to grow their businesses on their own terms. Because when women knock on investors’ doors, they should do so with confidence, strength, and a presence that cannot be ignored.
