Originally from Australia, I have lived in Asia for over 20 years. I started in the Internet in 1997 as the co-founder and employee No. 1 for SpaceAsia Media, the first Pan-Asian ad network founded in Asia. SpaceAsia sold in 2000 to Engage Inc. (CMGi) I stayed on after the sale. In 2003, I co-founded Activ8 Worldwide as a JV with Outblaze Ltd, which handled global media sales for Mail.com, Sanrio Digital (Hello Kitty), the Opera browser, plus a number of other leading brands. After the sale of Activ8′s primary assets, I took a board director’s seat on the Malaysia listed Oriented Media Group Berhad. In 2009, I took a position at News Corporation’s FOX Networks as VP, Asia Pacific and Middle East.
