Kathleen Webber is a serial entrepreneur who has founded and run several businesses, which is probably why she is mildly obsessed with giving leaders better data before they make the big calls.

Her latest is LiveRem, a live pay intelligence platform used by more than 240 organisations across Australia and New Zealand. The premise is simple: what if leaders could see what the market actually pays right now, instead of squinting at a salary survey from eighteen months ago?

At Startup People Summit she will get back to basics on the question most pay strategies forget: is this actually helping you recruit or retain someone? Expect a tour through the latest data, whether AI is redrawing the line on pay, and what "good" looks like at each stage of growth through a pay benchmarking lens.
