Ana has had an international executive career across both legal advice and complex commercial supply chain management to some of the world’s largest companies and trading houses. Ana is now a Principal at Iridium Capital, a family office managing assets in a wide range of sectors, across equity, debt, venture capital, and late-stage growth. Ana is also the founder of her own photography business, Ana Koch Photography, specialising in street, portraiture, and beach photography.
Ana is passionate about education, women’s issues, and the arts and supports these issues through her and her husband’s foundation, the Ana and Christopher Koch Foundation Fund. Ana has recently joined the board of The Village Co, a charity that supports mothers experiencing disadvantage through providing a hospital bag with postpartum and perinatal essentials. Ana has also joined the board of The Mill, a creative space for over 50 artists to work and collaborate, and through Ana and Christopher’s foundation, have sponsored an augural Photographer in Residence program which will provide a space for an artist to work in a studio for 12 months and have an exhibition at the end of their residency.
Ana heard about Impact100 SA through the Australian Communities Foundation, of which Impact is a sub-fund, and was keen to connect with like-minded people who want to make an impact and grow her network in Adelaide, having originally lived in Sydney but also worked in Singapore and Tokyo. Through her involvement in Impact100, Ana hopes to gain greater insight into the not-for-profit space in Adelaide, but also make lasting friendships along the way, which judging from our own experience, we are confident she will do.
