Originally from Australia, I spent 4 years in Beijing where I was a co-founding member and English Editor of TechNode, one of Asia’s leading independent tech media that now manages TechCrunch China. I covered stories on local entrepreneurs, start-ups and tech trends that shape life in Asia and especially China. After TechNode, I co-founded Koombah.com, an online to offline start-up to help expats find rental housing in Beijing. I started my career in the corporate professional services industry in Sydney, where I worked as an accountant for Ernst & Young and management consultant for various boutique firms across strategy, operations and marketing.
