Leela Cosgrove

Entrepreneur, Idea generator, Investor, Philanthropist, Writer/Editor

Leela Cosgrove wasn’t supposed to become a successful entrepreneur. She grew up in a housing commission suburb in Brisbane, Australia, surrounded by violence, drug use and the ongoing rhetoric that she would amount to nothing. She refused to submit to the expectations set for her, defying the odds and escaping the cycle of poverty she saw around her, establishing multiple successful businesses. Owner of Australia’s largest Witchcraft supply store, High Priestess, Leela is a Witch, a third-generation psychic and healer with 25 years of professional experience. Brought up on meditation, tarot cards and talking to guides and spirits, she is a tireless campaigner for women’s rights, a body positivity activist and uses her entrepreneurial and Witchcraft platforms to agitate for change to inequitable social structures. Leela: was named in the top 50 fast growth companies in Australia and top 8 of Female Founded Companies in the Asia Pacific Region; has been named as one of Australia’s top 25 female entrepreneurs; is the Australian Chapter Leader for the Dell Womens Entrepreneur Network and sits on their Global Advisory Council; and has presented to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and other organisations about activism in business.

Supporting entrepreneurs to create sustainable enterprises that not only change the world, but that don't kill them in the process.
