Veteran Entrepreneur of the Year

Tom Moore is the Co-Founder and Global CEO of WithYouWithMe, an education and employment tech company which is focused on solving unemployment and underemployment for military veterans. The company was created from Tom’s personal experience where after his military service as an Infantry Platoon Commander he witnessed other transitioning personnel navigating challenges with finding employment after service. Tom partnered with a number of close friends and formed WithYouWithMe. The company is designed to help veterans’ transition from the military and find a new career with purpose.

Tom pursued WithYouWithMe full time from mid-2016 and grew the company from an idea into a success. He conducted more than 2,000 veteran employment pitches with stakeholders, and became a personal advocate for veteran employment, personally convincing more than 100 of Australia’s largest organisations to start hiring veteran talent.

In the three years since WithYouWithMe’s launch, the company has helped more than 13,000 veterans through its program, including more than 1,200 find jobs directly with its partners. In 2019 alone, the company had more than 5,500 veterans join the program, which was over 100 registering each week.
