Nathan Gyaneshwar
As Chair of the Black Dog Ride Australia board, I support a national organisation dedicated to raising awareness of depression and suicide prevention through community motorcycle events. Building on my 12-year history with the organisation - where I founded two successful chapters and served as NSW Day Ride Coordinator - I now guide strategic direction and governance while maintaining our grassroots community focus. Working alongside a dedicated board and a passionate volunteer network, we're expanding Black Dog Ride's impact across Australia, fostering conversations about mental health.
I work in tech and previously spent 25 years building an e-procurement platform called Purchase Plus which is used by hotel groups globally. Currently, I'm channeling my entrepreneurial energy into Minavera, a sports education platform that's reimagining how people engage with lifelong learning in sports. Drawing from my passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and understanding of community-driven growth, we help people stay motivated and progress in their chosen sports. 'The BJJ Project' is an example of how we do it.
