In 2016, she made a move across to social enterprise to pursue an interest in food waste and innovation, when she took the role of Head of Business Development at a start-up company called Yume Food, an online B2B marketplace for the sale of surplus food.

After maternity leave for her first child, while Hannah and her family were living in Gippsland, she worked for a period with a boutique consulting company, CIS Consulting. There, she took lead responsibility on a number of new venture capital raising and establishment projects in the food, agriculture and education sectors. Once back in Melbourne, she returned to Yume Food and worked for another year in a strategic and operations role before having her second child in mid-2019.

Throughout 2020 she completed the Observership Board Directorship Program (observing the Board and a subcommittee of Jewish Care Victoria) and completed the associated AICD training.
