About Me
Stephanie Jandegian is a communications professional and business leader with a career spanning journalism, healthcare, and philanthropy.
She began her career at the Nine Network, progressing from producer to senior producer, chase producer, Chief of Staff, and ultimately Sydney Bureau Chief of A Current Affair. In these roles, she oversaw daily newsgathering, managed reporters and producers, and worked with editorial and legal teams to ensure stories were accurate, timely, and responsible. She thrived under the fast pace and scrutiny of current affairs journalism, developing expertise in managing sensitive material and engaging stakeholders from government, law enforcement, and community organisations.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Stephanie co-founded Pharma Soul, a healthcare supply and diagnostics company that became a key supplier of certified PPE and rapid testing solutions during Australia’s early response. Her focus went beyond logistics — she played a pivotal role in helping organisations across construction, healthcare, education, and government implement testing programs at a time of national uncertainty.
Beyond her career in media and healthcare, Stephanie has a background in competitive ballroom and Latin American dance. She represented Australia internationally, was awarded the Big Brother youth scholarship at Parliament House, and later appeared on Network Ten’s So You Think You Can Dance Australia, where she was selected among the Top 20 contestants.
Philanthropy is central to Stephanie’s work. She is a member of the New South Wales Advisory Board of the Starlight Children’s Foundation, applying her media and stakeholder expertise to advance programs for seriously ill children and their families. She is also an active supporter of the Children’s Cancer Institute, where she fundraises and advocates for life-saving research.
Stephanie balances her professional and philanthropic commitments with family life, travel, fitness, and her ongoing love for the performing arts.
