Allegra Spender

Allegra Spender is an accomplished business leader, renewable energy advocate, and the independent Member for Wentworth.

Allegra’s academic background includes an Economics degree from Cambridge University, an MSc from the University of London, and advanced business courses at Harvard and Dartmouth College. Her professional journey began at McKinsey as a business analyst, where she gained expertise across diverse industries and business strategies. She further honed her skills as a policy analyst at the UK Treasury before taking on the role of Managing Director at Carla Zampatti Pty Ltd, her family’s iconic fashion label.

As Chair of the Sydney Renewable Power Company, Allegra spearheaded the installation of the largest CBD solar array in Australia at the time.

Allegra Spender has been a vocal advocate for broader tax reform since her election in 2022. Her push for tax reform has reignited a crucial debate on modernising Australia’s fiscal policies to better align with the evolving economic landscape and societal needs.
