Paul Wallbank’s Summary
Author, entrepreneur and speaker with over fifteen years experience of showing businesses, governments and households how the Internet will change their world.
I've been involved in four start up business, one of which became a national IT support company, PC Rescue. The other three were a little less successful but a lot of fun.
As well as running one successful business, and learning a lot from the failures, I've written six books including the Australian Dummies guides for PCs, Internet and Laptops.
Along with the books I have a weekly column with Smart Company as well as two monthly radio spots discussing technology on ABC Local Radio and ABC702 Sydney.
Previously I've worked as a consultant assisting businesses selling technology to the consumer and SMB sectors.
At present I'm working for the NSW Government helping attract jobs and investment to the state's Creative Industries and Digital Media sectors.
