Founded in 2020 by May Bandi and Lachlan Hill following a career break, Skipper (formerly known as Tirtyl) is an environmental enterprise and Australia's #1 just-add-water home and personal care range.
In five short years Skipper has grown to be an international business, preventing millions of plastic bottles from being consumed annually whilst paving the way for the new era of consumption.

MEET OUR
FOUNDERS

May Bandi
May has a background in high-growth businesses and a deep passion for rising inequality, climate change, and technology. He is the Chief Revenue Officer as Skipper.
Known for his recognisable laugh and contradicting Spotify playlists, he also holds the title of runner-up to our office ping-pong champion and Warehouse Manager, Elliot. Conveniently Elliot has never agreed to a re-match and May likes to remind us of this daily.

Lachlan Hill
Lach has a background in strategy and operations consulting and public policy. As Chief Operations Officer, Lach skillfully leads all things product, operations and impact at Skipper.
When most people listen to meditations or sleep stories if they need help drifting off, Lach’s go-to sleep routine involves listening to the economist. When he wakes up, it’s straight back to Sean Paul, on repeat.

So tell me...
