Senior Manager, Global Purpose & Sustainability, Deloitte

Zoe O’Dwyer is a proud Gold Coast native and Bond University alumna, graduating in 2019 with a double degree in Law and International Relations. Her journey into international diplomacy began in the Model United Nations circuit; as a member of the Bond University WIMUN team, she helped secure the prestigious Best Small University Delegation award in 2019.

Zoe began her career at Palladium, a global impact firm, where she collaborated with the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) to design development programs across the Asia-Pacific. Her work took her to Kiribati, Tuvalu, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, and Cambodia, focusing on strengthening education, healthcare, and agricultural productivity through local stakeholder engagement.

Recognised for her expertise in international systems, Zoe relocated to Amsterdam to serve as Deloitte’s Global United Nations Account Manager. In this capacity, she led a global team delivering large-scale strategic programs for the UN Secretariat and over 25 UN agencies. Her work spanned Europe, the United States, South Asia, and Africa, where she worked alongside UN leaders and Ambassadors to translate global strategic priorities into local solutions to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Currently based in London, Zoe is a Senior Manager within Deloitte’s Global Purpose & Sustainability Office. While working full-time, she also completed a Master’s in Global Corporations and Policy at SOAS, University of London. Today, she leads a portfolio dedicated to delivering Deloitte’s global societal impact strategy across 150 countries. She remains a key architect of Deloitte's global partnerships, managing the firm's presence at high-level forums including the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and the UN Climate Change Conference (COP).
