The daughter of Iranian refugees who arrived in Australia without any English, Megan grew up to be a stockbroker in Perth, specialising in 'small cap' stocks, or those deemed too small for the major firms to invest in, despite some companies being valued at up to $12 billion. Megan used this knowledge to found her own company Blue Orbit, which specialises in anylsis and investment in small cap stocks that no one else is really paying attention to.
