The resilient entrepreneur – How this Aussie med tech start-up went global

At seven years old, Hayley Saddington experienced an incident that became the catalyst for her whole career. 

Decades later, Hayley founded two companies – HALO Medical Devices and PeakMedical – but she’s not your typical tech entrepreneur. For one thing, she doesn’t come from a tech background. 

Both companies have tested her patience, her drive and her sleep schedule, but her deeply personal purpose has kept her going. And as a mentor to budding entrepreneurs, Hayley wants to help others determine their purpose and find that same drive to succeed in business.
