Danielle Ferry

Taking it one cookie at a time

Danielle Ferry, Director of The Cookie Barrel does not believe in the saying “That’s the way the cookie crumbles!” She is an eternal optimist much to the annoyance of those around her and is now an even greater believer in the saying “Every Cloud has a Silver Lining”.

Danielle has learnt many valuable lessons along the way and is keen to share with other business owners the highs and lows of a rapidly expanding business, the pros and cons of expansion and the importance of work/life balance. Something that she and her partner (who now works in the business too) have both achieved in the past year.

Where: Westpac Building, Perth

When: 5.45pm

More information

This year we are moving to the Westpac Building in the city starting with our February event. This is a fantastic move for us as I am sure you will agree. We will be starting earlier as well so people can come straight from work. In 2010 we have a celebrity Food Designer, Head of the Angel Investors Association of Australia, a peak into the future of Nanotechnology and much more.
