After years of adventure, missteps, and learning—including half an accounting degree, a failed family business, an acting career in four of “Australia's worst TV shows”, a brief stint as the lead singer of a One Hit Wonders covers band, and multiple business ventures that didn’t quite take off— Andre finally found his groove. In 2011, he co-founded Vinomofo with his brother-in-law, Justin, growing it from a startup in a garage to a $100 million global wine brand, bringing together a thriving community of wine lovers.
In 2018, he left Vinomofo to launch Good Empire, a platform designed to unite and empower people to live more purposeful, connected, and impactful lives, helping to create a more equal, abundant, and sustainable world.
A natural storyteller and passionate speaker on purpose and change, Andre shares lessons from failure, the power of human connection, the importance of standing for something, and the magic of building communities—all in pursuit of a more meaningful, impactful life.
