I'm the co-founder and CEO of Atlassian Software Systems, an innovative, fast growing Australian software company attempting to 'upset' the enterprise software market with high quality, low price offerings.
Our products enable dynamic teams to work together more effectively, and complete knowledge projects efficiently in today's shifting workplace. Project management from two angles - Confluence, the enterprise wiki, from a 'textual' perspective and JIRA, our issue tracker, from a 'task driven' perspective.
I'm also an investor in Homethinking, a website which provides quantatitive and qualitative tools that help people make more informed decisions when it comes to choosing a broker to sell their house.
Prior to starting Atlassian, I was the Technology Director for Jupitermedia (JUPM, ne: internet.com INTM) in the Asia Pacific region.
I'm an avid book reader and consider myself a student of the Internet industry, software companies and tech history.
