Prior to the current role as CEO and founder of Bloo.com.au, Brian spent several years in telecommunications, technology and digital media sales. Working in senior roles with various companies including Ericsson, Transact Communications & Sensis. Brian is an angel investor, entrepreneur & strategist. Whilst he apples these skills to many different industries, he has a real passion for digital startups.

Brian's journey into business has not been a slow and steady one. He launched Bloo in 2009, was nominated as one of the 40 under 40 in 2010, raised cash and facilitated the equity split to bring on board 7 West Media Group (formerly The West Australian) and The Community Newspaper Group. Faced substantial challenges with dramatic technology changes, board composition and governance, business strategy, cashflow and more.

Late 2013 Brian has taken back full control of the business and has an aggressive strategy for 2014. This is set to be a great session as Brian shares with us the details of his story.
