About this Speaker

My online small business community, Entrepreneurs HQ, attracts experts to cover key topics of interest to our audience of 150,000+ small business owners. I work with key partners to help promote these virtual summits, giving free value to audiences whilst partners benefit from exposure and revenue. My passion for entrepreneurship began whilst at Macquarie University when I was tasked with growing strategic partnerships for one of the top tech startups in Sydney, Soulmates Technology. This foray into tech led me to begin building and running my own businesses online to varying degrees of success. For 4 successive years I juggled my study and business with being a professional football (soccer) player in Australia's national competition playing for Wollongong Wolves and Sydney United. My unique and innovative business development and sales skills has taken me from Australia to Europe to America, and given me experience in leading a 70 year print publication into a national events program, launching its digital products, as well as driving an ASX listed company into new multi-million dollar revenue markets. I've been featured in multiple publications including BRW, The Australian, Inc, Startup Smart, Real Estate Business, Property Observer, and others. I was ranked in the top 5 startups at Sydstart 2014 and placed first at the "Skillsapien Pitch to Silicon Valley Series 2014" winning a trip to Silicon Valley.
