Shaun Christie-David overcame barriers as a refugee migrant, facing racism and the echoes of Sri Lanka’s civil war, which left traditional success models unfulfilling.
Through empathy, education, and a community-minded spirit, he founded Plate It Forward, a social enterprise blending high-quality dining with purpose, employing 200+ from marginalised communities and donating 650,000 meals to date.
Shaun proves employment barriers can be dismantled with an intelligent workforce, embedding deep change in a successful business.
Using humour to tackle social issues, he leaves audiences activated and inspired, showing impact can start with a beer.
His corporate experience ensures he understands clients’ needs for performance and retention.
