The Entrepreneur

Emily Frizell is a veteran turned entrepreneur who established AeroPM, a multi-award winning
consultancy company that currently has a veteran employment rate of 80%.


In 2020, Emily was recognised within the Defence Industry as the Female Defence Leader of the
Year, and in 2019 she was shortlisted for the ACT Telstra Business Women’s Award.
