Picture
Joanne Verikios has many strings to her bow: she is an international award winning author, speaker, compere, mentor, artist, entrepreneur and equine industry expert.

As a horse breeder Joanne founded and managed the Highborn Warmblood Stud, producing quality riding horses including the licensed Warmblood stallion Highborn Powerlifter.

She has an Honours degree in Russian from the University of Queensland and her career in the Australian Public Service saw her awarded numerous citations for leading high performing teams. She was promoted to one of the most senior ranks, with a Top Secret security clearance.

An Australian Champion Powerlifter, capable of deadlifting more than three times her own weight (ie, lifting 155kg at 47kg bodyweight), Joanne placed seventh at two World Championships and was featured by the late Don Lane in an episode of Late Night Oz on Channel 10.

As a belly dancer, Joanne performed onstage with troupes in Perth, Canberra and the Gold Coast, choreographed her own solo performances and designed and made her own costumes.

In addition to her book "Winning Horsemanship", published by Global Publishing Group, Joanne has written for numerous magazines and continues to do so. She is a popular presenter, speaker and podcast host.


Joanne's passion for leaving things better than she finds them stands her in good stead as a renovator and property developer. An experienced property investor, she has bought and sold real estate for profit in the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia. She has conducted many renovations both locally and interstate, along with subdivisions and strata subdivisions, both independently and in joint venture projects.
 

Despite her many achievements, Joanne believes her most rewarding work is still ahead of her.

Joanne is proud of her partnership with the highest rated nutritional company in the world and derives enormous pleasure from helping people to improve their health.

She learned a lot from her contribution as Co-Producer and award-winning Art Director to the short film "5 Moons of Pluto" (directed by Bradford Walton) and has now extended her writing talents to television and film.
