In 1997 I founded Start (start.com.au) Australia's first free email. In 1999 it was ranked the largest trafficked website in Australia by Hitwise (more than 1,000,000 users). In December 1999 Looksmart LTD (NASDAQ: LOOK) acquired my business.

In 2004 I founded Business Catalyst (businesscatalyst.com & goodbarry.com), a SaaS offering with a large reseller network of web designers in more than 50 countries. The platform served 1,000's online businesses. In 2009 Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE) acquired my business.
