The Merri-Cast

Sandra Healy: ON making the leap from intrapreneur to entrepreneur

Trevor Merriden Episode 54

For our latest episode of The Merri-Cast podcast, we had the pleasure of speaking with Sandra Healy, Co-Founder and CEO of inclusio

For 20 years, Sandra excelled in engineering and leadership roles in the global tech sector. She eventually took a leap and started inclusio, alongside her co-founders Deborah Murphy and Arthur Lubambo in 2020…just as the pandemic hit. 

At one point, Sandra pitched the business over 40 times before getting a positive response. Despite these and other challenges her story is one of resilience, vision and seizing opportunities when they come. 

Her advice to other fledgling entrepreneurs? 

‘If it’s in you, do it.’ 

We couldn’t agree more! 

Key takeaways Sandra shares in this episode include: 
•How to move from being an ‘intrapreneur’ within a business to an ‘entrepreneur’ out on your own. 
•Why you only regret the things you don’t do – with more support and funding than ever before, there’s no better time to become an entrepreneur. 
•Don’t be daunted if it’s just you and your idea when you start – there are so many ways to get backing for what you do. 
•That moment when you ‘take the leap’ – the best opportunities open up when you back yourself. 

…and much more!
