Appointed News Editor of ZDNet Australia

I am extremely proud and happy to say that I was recently appointed to be ZDNet Australia’s new News Editor, to start in early July.

It’s been a fantastic job working at The Australian Financial Review and MIS Magazine as a technology reporter for the last year, and I can’t speak highly enough of these publications and Fairfax Business Media in general.

I have especially enjoyed working with great colleagues like Josh Gliddon, Ben Woodhead, Emma Connors, Paul Smith, John Davidson, Julian Bajkowski, Chris Jenkins, Michael Crawford and many more. These guys are some of the best technology journalists in Australia and it’s been a privilege to be working with and learning from them.

However when the ZDNet position came up shortly after I came back from my honeymoon this year, I knew it was the right move for me to make. I haven’t been an editor in the Australian technology media yet, and I couldn’t pass up the chance to oversee my own technology news team and move back into the dynamic online environment.

Of course, I came from ZDNet before I joined the Financial Review, and I am looking forward to working with great journalists there again such as Munir Kotadia, the Editor of ZDNet Australia. In addition, it’ll be good to catch up with the whole CNET Networks Australia team.

CNET Networks is one of the leaders in the online media space in Australia and internationally, and their sites just keep on breaking new ground. Of course, ZDNet Australia is one of the premier business technology titles in Australia, with a long history.

Thanks to everyone who has supported me in my career!

Keep pushing

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplacable spark. In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish and leave only frustration for the life you deserved, but never have been able to reach. The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours."
