Wendy Lloyd Curley
Founder Strategic Networking Pty Ltd
The American accent will fool you, but Wendy Lloyd Curley is a proud Australian who calls inner west Sydney home. She is the founder and Director of Strategic Networking and Executive Director and Franchise Owner of BNI Sydney North East and the author of the Amazon Best Selling book, Stop Wasting Your Time Networking: The Ultimate Guide to Marketing Your Business Through Personal Connections.
Wendy started her working life in the hospitality industry, returned to university studies to earn an MBA and a Master of International Management, spent over a decade in the telecommunications industry, primarily in strategic marketing, and then started her own music marketing business in 2005. After 3 years running that business, she moved full time into a network marketing business with PartyLite which she grew into a multi-million-dollar business and was known throughout her network as Wendy the Candle Lady.
In 2020, Wendy decided to turn her natural networking, training, and presentation skills into a business that solves a big problem for business owners: not getting results from their business networking. To solve that problem, she launched a consultancy and training company called Strategic Networking and became a Franchise Owner and Executive Director in BNI.
At every opportunity, Wendy also performs as a singer and guitar player in several bands, most notably, The Bell, an acoustic trio.
She and Alan, her husband of 33 years, live and play in Sydney with their adorable guard dog Dinkum – a golden retriever poodle with a little neurosis for visitors.
