About Me

Most of the time I'm a writer and journalist, having contributed to numerous publications in Australia and the US over the past ten years. For four and a half years I was a senior writer with the business magazine BRW, where I held the positions of both Information Technology Editor and Marketing Editor.

Since leaving BRW in March 2004 I've worked as a freelance journalist, writing across a wide range of topics, including technology, marketing, entrepreneurship, entertainment, and foreign affairs. I've had articles published in BRW, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Australian Anthill, SmartCompany, Nett, AFR Boss, Rolling Stone Australia, and GQ Australia. I've also contributed to the US-based website VentureBeat, and also to the UK newspaper The Guardian.

In the last ten years I've been lucky enough to interview many of the world’s luminaries in technology, entrepreneurship and marketing, including Larry Ellison (of Oracle Corporation) and Michael Dell.

I've got a strong interest in entrepreneurship, and have been a regular speaker on this topic. In March 2003 I published my first book on this subject, called Innovation and Emerging Markets – Where the Next Bulls Will Run, which was a study on the issues confronting emerging Australian technology companies as they strive to commercialise their innovations.

As for my academic credentials, I hold a Bachelor of Arts (Journalism) from RMIT University.

Why call it LagrangePoint? For the non-astronomers out there (which includes myself... and with apologies to those who are), a Lagrange point is the spot between two celestial objects (say, the earth and moon) where the gravitational forces of each cancelled themsleves out. Arthur C. Clarke wrote about Lagrange points as they relate to the positioning of communications satellites in both his science and science fiction.
