I used to help many of Australia's biggest financial institutions and telcos save money and get more return on investment for their online marketing spends, In 2007 I won the ADMA Young Direct Marketer of the Year for the work. It got to a point however where I felt I could be much more impactful if I were to apply all my knowledge and effort towards building a comparison service to bring competition and fairness into the banking space in Australia, so that's what I set out to do with my business partner Frank Restuccia at finder.com.au. When I launched finder.com.au in 2006, my goal has been to educate Australians make better and more informed financial decisions. As many of you would know, starting your own business is incredibly difficult. You need to get into a frugal mindset to survive. I'm not afraid to call my bank and save 2 cents. Having a frugal mindset and chasing every cent that you're entitled to will save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars over your lifetime. At finder.com.au the team have applied the frugal mindset at scale to come up with the best ways to compare and choose a financial product or online shopping deal. I implement all the hacks you can imagine to save myself money and to save myself time to allow me to spend time with my daughters swimming at Bondi Beach. At finder.com.au, I am building a rocketship. If you think you have what it takes, e-mail iwantin@finder.com.au and get yourself a seat aboard one of Australia's fastest growing businesses.

From October 2009 to Present (6 years 3 months) Mentor @ September 26th - 28th Project Pitch is a three day startup weekend for any UTS students (undergraduate and postgraduate) to form teams and create a successful business, technological or social idea. Students are able to come in teams of 2-4 people or form teams on the Friday night. They must then develop their seed idea (no concrete work done) over the following two days with the support of industry and academic mentors. Teams are required to pitch three times throughout the weekend. The third pitch will be on Sunday afternoon where a panel of entrepreneurial experts will award $10 000 to the most creative and viable business concept. Project Pitch was the initiative of the ActivateUTS in conjunction with the ACESUTS entrepreneurial society. The vision behind the event was to empower students currently studying to turn business ideas into realities with the support of the UTS community. http://utsprojectpitch.com.au/index.html From September 2014 to September 2014 (1 month) Director Freestyle Media @ New business, Account Management and Online Marketing Consulting From 2007 to September 2009 (2 years) Owner @ Online Marketing Strategy and Managing Director From March 2003 to September 2009 (6 years 7 months)
