Our Board of Directors
Giovi Moschoudis
Chief Executive Officer
Giovi resigned from her professional career as a lawyer in 2019 to become a full time carer for Angelina and commit to her daily intensive therapies and medical appointments. Giovi was admitted as a Legal Practitioner of the Supreme Court of NSW during the early 2000's, taking a practising certificate as a Solicitor. Her key strengths include strong planning, analytical and problem-solving skills, excellent interpersonal, verbal and written communication skills, and high attention to detail. Giovi hopes that these skills will assist in building this Foundation as she has a personal appreciation of CASK and the significant impact it has not only on the patient, but also their family.
