Co-Founder at Linkby
Experienced founder who’s passionate about creating new products that help advertisers & publishers generate more revenue.
I’ve now taken that experience in to Linkby where I’m excited to work alongside my co-founding team to build a global offering that helps advertisers and publishers anywhere in the world generate more sales and revenue.
Previous to founding Linkby I founded Australia’s largest youth focused media publication Pedestrian.tv which myself and my co-founder scaled to 100 staff, 3 offices and a $100m valuation and exit to Australia’s largest media company Channel 9. We achieved the highest ever value for an independent media company founded in Australia. To give you an idea of Pedestrian’s continued scale in Australia it’s now the first market in the world where VICE & Refinery 29 operate as license under another media operator. So Pedestrian Group is responsible for all advertising, marketing and content created for VICE & R29 in Australia.
