Introducing Jack Hoek
Law, Business & Finance Internship
We are pleased to introduce Jack Hoek, Ultivate’s newest protégé. Our Law, Business and Finance Intern. At just 20 years old, Jack has successfully completed his initial six-month introductory internship. In May of this year, Jack accepted an offer to enter Ultivate’s 24-month professional development and enterprise build phase.
​​
Currently finishing his third year at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and completing a double degree in Law and Business, majoring in Finance and minoring in Psychology, Jack joins Ultivate start-up during one of its most strategically significant chapters, the phase dedicated to governance strengthening, financial modelling, and operational system architecture.
​​
Jack brings an emerging but distinctive interdisciplinary profile, integrating legal reasoning, financial literacy, behavioural understanding, and business development. This places him in a unique position to contribute to research, policy formation, ethical governance, and an enriched organisational structure with clarity, ethics, and logic. Jack is participating in a guided leadership and supervision framework that focuses on:
​
-
governance, legal documentation and operational clarity
-
financial and business modelling for sustainable growth
-
policy and procedural development for a dual clinical and innovation ecosystem
-
risk, compliance and ethical alignment with AHPRA and APS principles
-
development of future-ready systems for Ultivate’s non-clinical training arm
In addition to broader intern responsibilities, Jack is currently part of the Ultivate Operational and Governance Systems Project, a multi-component initiative focused on developing coordinated, ethical, and scalable internal frameworks to support Ultivate’s 20-year vision. This work involves supporting Ultivate leadership and leading company advisors in producing aligned documentation, policies, agreements, templates, and workflow systems to ensure the organisation continues to operate with precision, transparency, and long-term operational stability as it expands programs, partnerships, subcontractor models, and interdisciplinary leadership pathways.
​
Jack demonstrates the early attributes of an Ultivate Protégé, calm reasoning, reliability, ethics, curiosity, openness to mentoring, and a willingness to think beyond discipline boundaries and into systems, behaviour, and leadership. At Ultivate he is developing the capacity to contribute to a new category of psychological health enterprise that exists at the intersection of mental health, leadership development, research, and innovation.
Ultivate is proud to welcome Jack as part of our long-term commitment to cultivating ethically-anchored, psychologically-intelligent, interdisciplinary leaders of the future.
Focus Areas
Governance, Law & Ethical Frameworks
Jack’s first area of focus lies in learning about Ultivate’s governance and legal architecture.
He contributes to drafting and reviewing key operational documents, including subcontractor agreements, partnership policies, and ethical compliance frameworks, ensuring they align with AHPRA, APS, and corporate social responsibility standards.
​
His goal is to learn how ethical reasoning, legal clarity, and human enrichment are embedded in Ultivate’s hybrid ecosystem, where clinical psychology and innovation coexist.
Financial Modelling & Start-Up Psychology Research
Jack’s second focus is on integrating financial analysis and modelling through an enriched enterprise lens. Under Andrea Solange’s supervision, he co-develops the research and operational framework for Financial and Start-Up Psychology for Flourishing Professionals. This involves designing P&L structures, pricing frameworks, and enriched business models that integrate behavioural economics, professional wellbeing, and sustainability.
​
​
​
Strategic Development & the Enrichment Culture
Jack’s third area of focus is the translation of enrichment principles into real operational systems.
He tracks and co-authors Ultivate’s Enriched Promotional Model, ensuring the company’s growth strategies are organic, psychologically intelligent, and human-centred. Through this work, he examines how marketing, leadership, and finance intersect with intellectual enrichment, and how start-ups can cultivate flourishing teams instead of reactive ones.
