I'm an enthusiastic entrepreneur and innovator. I've been involved in several start-up ranging from software development consultancies, to mobile applications to this - getstaffed.com. I've also held an exec-level role with Vodafone where my team help nurture some of the coolest new mobile services around

• Why getstaffed?Well it may just help with the 'two things to do before I die'. But the main reason is that too much of what goes on in the recruitment industry resembles trafficking in humans. Don't get me wrong: some Recruitment Agencies add value, but far too many do not. We're going to change that.
• Two things to do before I die: (1) Found a wildly successful business - one that helps change the rules of an established industry, and (2) be responsible for a major humanitarian project.
• Pastimes:Mountain biking, reading, travel (leisure not business!), enjoying a cut-throat games of cards with my family

I'm an ICT contractor of many years, starting in nappies with Sun Microsystems in Sydney, before I moved to New York to be involved in the heady days of dot-com fever. Ah, the good ol' days! Then, moved back to the safer realms of New Zealand after the dot-com implosion,paying dues as a contract java architect, before heading to getstaffed to help make the world a better place! And to make Andrews life a misery... :-)

• Why getstaffed?To give contractors and business the opportunity to talk to each other direct, without non-competition contracts and heavy overheads and all that stuff. To make finding work (and workers) painless.
• Two things to do before I die:Hmm. 1. Fund a successful startup, and 2. Mountainbike trickle falls!
• Pastimes:Computery stuff, karate, mtbiking, helping Andrew understand the beauty of Mac
