It's Nice to MEET YOU!

Dr Jeannet Kessels is an entrepreneur, a mother of four and an exceptional businesswoman. 

She graduated from UQ with First Class Honours in 1986 and enjoyed her 30 year veterinary career immensely.

Jeannet's passion for developing her staff was a predominant factor in the decision to retire from clinical work in 2018. She now has more time to focus on 'big picture' strategies and for mentoring the GSV team from behind the scenes; her forward-thinking and strong leadership has created a culture that promotes individual sustainability and professional satisfaction. 

Over the years, Jeannet’s entrepreneurial mind has led to the creation of organisations such as ‘Groodles Australia’ (an incredible charity program which has raised over $500,000 to charity so far!), and ‘Veterinarian’s for Climate Action’ (a movement dedicated to helping the veterinary profession – and beyond – to advocate for climate action, particularly for the animals that are suffering as a result.
