Our Founder & Director
Baringa Barambah Meeanjinu is a Turrbal and Gubbi Gubbi woman, with connection to Wakka Wakka, Kamilaroi and Birri Gubba Country. She grew up on her ancestral homelands of Meeanjin (Brisbane) learning the traditional laws and customs from her elders.
Driven by a commitment to enabling meaningful change and bridging cultural divides, Baringa founded Yadeni Consulting in 2024. One of the catalysts for starting this business was the misunderstanding and division she witnessed during the Voice to Parliament debate. This experience underscored the urgent need for deeper cultural understanding and inspired her to launch a business dedicated to fostering genuine connection and respect between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australia.
Prior to founding Yadeni Consulting, Baringa worked in a diverse range of finance, strategy and operations roles in Corporate, Government, and Not-for-Profit organisations to deliver projects across Australia, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. She holds a Bachelor of Commerce and Economics from the University of Queensland and is a member of Chartered Accountants ANZ. As a Chevening and Roberta Sykes Scholar, she completed a Master of Business Administration (MBA) specialising in Culture & Arts Management and Social Innovation at the University of Cambridge.
