“Speaking allows me to create impact at scale. When I share my lessons, someone in the audience always finds their next breakthrough — and that’s everything.”

Ayda Shabanz is an international entrepreneur, investor, and award-winning businesswoman with over two decades of experience in property, property development, finance, and business growth.

By 30, she had built a $10 million property portfolio.
By 40, she had exited multiple seven- and eight-figure ventures — achieving the financial freedom she once only dreamed about.

But Ayda’s journey wasn’t built on privilege — it was built on persistence. She started from humble beginnings, with no financial backing, no family business, and no roadmap. From the age of 19, she learned to navigate business the hard way — building companies from nothing, raising equity, acquiring businesses, and expanding nationally and globally across Australia, Asia, and now Dubai and Europe.

Through two decades in property, finance, and entrepreneurship, Ayda mastered not just how to grow wealth, but how to design sustainable systems for success — from property investment and development to money management and strategic business scaling. Every milestone came with its share of challenges: financial setbacks, long nights, and moments that tested her strength and belief.

Through it all, Ayda discovered that success isn’t about working harder — it’s about building smarter. It’s about creating freedom within the structure of your business and designing systems that allow you to scale without burning out.

As the founder of EXIT-ABLE™, Ayda now helps leaders and founders build businesses that run without them — scalable, AI-ready, and designed for both freedom and financial longevity. Her mission is to help others avoid burnout, reclaim their purpose, and design companies that give them their lives back.

Her insights have been featured in the Australian Financial Review, Sky News, Domain, Yahoo Finance, and Australian Property Investor, and she has collaborated with global brands such as HP, Blockearner, Swyftx, and Raiz. She’s spoken for leading organisations including Hays Recruitment, Ignite Women’s Events, and CUB Business Club, sharing her no-nonsense wisdom on entrepreneurship, wealth creation, and leadership.

Ayda’s speaking style blends hard-won business strategy with powerful personal truth — inspiring audiences to rethink success, embrace innovation, and build freedom-driven lives and companies that last.
