Profile
Minh Beaver is co-director and senior finance broker at Evolve Money, with more than 20 years of experience spanning wholesale mortgage management, retail banking, and residential and commercial lending. She works with a broad range of clients, from first home buyers and self-employed borrowers to SMSF investors and those with more complex lending needs that traditional banks often struggle to accommodate.
Having arrived in Australia as a refugee in the early 1980s, Beaver understands firsthand what it means to build a future from the ground up. That experience continues to shape the client-first philosophy she shares with her husband and business partner, Corey Beaver, as co-founder of Evolve Money. “Finance is about more than just numbers – it’s about opportunity, stability and the dreams families work hard to achieve,” she says.
Under their leadership, Evolve Money has grown into an award-winning brokerage based in Lavender Bay. Beaver is known for her practical, integrity-driven approach and her commitment to helping Australians make informed financial decisions with confidence. Clients consistently praise her patience, honesty and ability to guide everyone from first-home buyers to experienced investors through even the most challenging lending scenarios.

Milestones
As a founding member of WOW! (Women. Opportunity. Winning.), an employee resource group created for all women of Ryan Specialty, Phillips Topping has long championed for women in the industry.
“It’s very important to set an example and to not only inspire but mentor other females,” she adds.
In addition to her sharp marketing eye, the key to Phillips Topping’s success lies in her high-energy approach and positive attitude.
“As the leader of a team, it’s important to motivate and encourage your team members. People work very hard and do their best and it’s important to recognize these efforts. For my career overall, my attitude has been one of curiosity. The more you can learn, the better you’ll understand the business, and then the deeper your knowledge will become, making you a better team member.”

Empathy underpins that discipline. Prickett has struggled in the industry. She has felt what it is like when promised support does not materialize. Having worked across almost every function in the company, she understands operational detail and the pressure agents face. That shared experience shapes her leadership.
Structural barriers also shaped her path. As a woman and a mother, she encountered the assumption that serious business building required keeping priorities “out of order for a time.” She also experienced the double standard that frames firm women as difficult while praising similar behaviour in men.
“If you have a choice between being liked and doing the right thing, doing the right thing is always better, even if it’s the unpopular thing,” Prickett says.
She wants to dismantle the expectation that women must choose between career and family, or between strength and kindness. In her view, leadership demands both conviction and care.
Being named an Elite Woman carries weight. Prickett did not have female role models in the industry when she started. She hopes visibility changes that. “I hope I can be an example. Not of perfection, but of persistence. Of building from your values and staying true to who you are.”
The legacy Prickett is still defining centres on proof – proof that a large, profitable company can grow without sacrificing integrity; proof that agents can build real assets while keeping their priorities intact; and proof that leadership does not require abandoning who you are to succeed.
“If you have a choice between being liked and doing the right thing, doing the right thing is always better, even if it’s the unpopular thing”

“What I’ve learned is that when you build from your values, when you put people first, when you do the right thing even when it’s hard, that becomes your plan”
