I have worked with and for entrepreneurs and innovators most of my life, building National and Multi-National Businesses and along the way helped raise three daughters, built communities and coached, managed and mentored Commonwealth Games and Olympic Medalists in Track and Field.

My introduction to what I now know as entrepreneurship was in the late seventies. Working for John Neller who started a Software company to service the unmet needs of large Australian business in the area of Payroll and HR.
​
In the late 1990s I moved from senior international roles in IT (Computer Software) to set up a Sports, Celebrity and Event Marketing Agency then into Marketing and Media Consultancy.
I am now a Founder and Ring Master at See Global Media Singapore which operates in the IPTV and Digital Signage area in China and Asia working closely with the world’s biggest brands and their advisors.

With my then business partner (and daughter) Nikki, I co-authored the Grumpy Old Managers Guide to Social Media in 2009.

Over the past three years I have been a very active mentor within the Flinders University New
Ventures Institute and University of Adelaide’s ThincLab to assist up and coming young South Australian’s wanting to access international markets.

I have also worked with Carnegie Mellon University locally to assist recent Masters Graduates and Students from all over the world develop their ideas into real businesses and assist them to build for the world from Adelaide.
​
As a proud native of South Australian, I am very keen to assist in growing the local economy by helping SA businesses find their way in Asia and bring Asian investment into SA.
