I'm Edward Zia, LinkedIn Certified Consultant & Australian Business Networking Meetup Leader + thank you for reading my profile!

I empower entrepreneurs and SMEs to crush growth goals with battle-tested strategies. With a Post-Graduate in Marketing from Monash University and 25+ years in the game, I've unlocked over $1000 Million+ in revenue for clients across industries like property, finance, health, trades, education, defence, and more.

My edge? A powerhouse network forged through partnerships with LinkedIn, Teachable, Meetup, Ovolo Hotels, and the ACCOR Group. As an Australian Business Networking Meetup Leader, I thrive on connecting high-performers, hosting events, and building unbreakable alliances that multiply success.

Before coaching, I served as a Combat Engineer in the Australian Army, honing resilience under fire. Then, I tackled Drug Enforcement Special Projects with the Australian Federal Police, navigating high-stakes ops from street-level intel to arrest teams. These lives—from the trenches to the top—taught me grit, strategy, and how to turn adversity into advantage.

I also spent some years in Corporate Working in Business Development, Technical Sales and then Marketing with legendary companies including Henkel, Panera Bread, the NRMA and also Wrest Point Casino Hotel in Hobart.

Honoured to be married to the powerhouse Boss Lady Lassie Zia. Let's network and level up your business. Connect with me or visit edwardzia.com for more.
