At 16, she set her sights on becoming the editor of Dolly magazine.
By 23, she had achieved it - making history along the way by putting an Asian face on the cover for the first time.
For International Women’s Day, Foundation Chair Marina Go reflects on a career shaped by purpose, resilience and an unwavering commitment to fairness.
As a Chinese Australian woman navigating leadership across media and corporate boardrooms, Marina has consistently challenged assumptions about who gets to be seen and heard. From her early days in publishing to her leadership roles across major organisations, her work has been guided by a deep belief in representation, inclusion and social justice.
That defining Dolly cover moment was more than symbolic - it marked the beginning of a leadership journey focused on expanding opportunities for others. Today, Marina continues to advocate for diverse voices at the highest levels of decision-making, championing pathways for women and culturally diverse communities.
