Growth & M&A Advisor | Director, Australia – SI Global | Founder & MD – New Business Methodology

For over 25 years, Julia Vargiu has helped ambitious agency and tech leaders grow, scale, and maximise value—ensuring they are not just fit for scale but fit for sale.

As Director, Australia of SI Global, she advises creative, marketing, and technology businesses across Australia, APAC, and the USA on strategic growth, scaling, and exit readiness. She works closely with business owners to increase enterprise value and identify the right growth partner or exit strategy—whether that means staying independent, bringing in a capital partner, or preparing for acquisition.

Julia is also the Founder & MD of New Business Methodology, where she pioneered New Business Mastery™ for Agencies, helping agency leaders build sustainable growth engines. A trusted advisor, executive coach, and keynote speaker, she has spent decades working with founders on the real-world challenges of scaling and selling businesses.

A no-nonsense New Yorker turned Sydney-sider, Julia’s career spans the US, Australia, and APAC. In a past life, she danced with RuPaul in Atlanta, ran away with the gypsies to become an improv actress, and eventually swapped the stage for a New York management consultancy.
