When she was a single, working mother with two young daughters in Russia, Elena Gosse could never have imagined she would become a trail-blazing entrepreneur and the CEO of one of Australia’s most innovative companies.

Having worked in the entertainment industry in Russia to support her children, one with a disability, Elena has overcome many battles on her journey to become the CEO of multi-award-winning Queensland manufacturing business, Australian Innovative Systems (AIS).

This week AIS will officially celebrate its 25th anniversary with Elena’s leadership an integral part of its success as one of Australia’s most trusted pool water disinfection companies. AIS exports its technology to more than 55 countries worldwide.

Elena and her Russian-speaking Australian husband, Kerry, first met in Russia in 1992 and married two years later. Elena and her daughters moved to Australia in 1994, settling in Brisbane.

After studying English and completing further Australian education including a second university degree, Elena started with AIS in 1994, initially working with her husband as Company Director and Secretary. Since rising through the ranks to the position of CEO she has become instrumental in the company’s spectacular growth. Kerry remains at AIS as a Company Director.

AIS technology is trusted by leading aquatic centres, swim schools, competition swimming pools, resorts, hotels, water parks and family swimming pools all over the world and the business is recognised as a leader in the design, production and supply of commercial and residential chlorine generators and water disinfection technology.

“Our unwavering commitment to research and development, along with excellence in manufacturing, has delivered a long list of proud achievements for our company,” Elena says.

“They include designing and manufacturing world-first technology, winning hundreds of international and national awards, and hosting visits from VIP clients, Prime Ministers and politicians.”

Drawing on her professional skills and extensive business network, Elena is also passionate about supporting and mentoring other women to help them to achieve their full potential.

“My experience as a Russian immigrant has helped me to refine my business and personal vision,” she says.

“It has also inspired me to assist other immigrants by encouraging and embracing cultural diversity in the AIS workplace and supporting the local community.”

Elena is in high demand as a guest speaker at business events and indulges in her lifelong love for acting, singing and dancing.

“Having undergone a dramatic career transformation since moving to Australia, I love sharing my professional and personal experiences with people, particularly other women.”

AIS will celebrate its 25th Anniversary at an exclusive invitation only gala event this Saturday 24th March in Brisbane. Over 100 guests from around Australia will attend.
