  • Shorthand
    Ceo And Rogue Prime
    Shorthand
    Australia
  • Shorthand
    Co-Owner & Ceo
    Shorthand Oct 2015 - Present
    Brisbane, Qld, Au
    Shorthand is the next-level platform for visual storytelling and stakeholder communications. We’re on a mission to build a beautifully informed world. We do this through ambitious, thoughtful product design, by putting extreme web technology innovation in the hands of creative communicators, and by delivering unrivalled customer support.With Graeme Wood (former chairman and former majority owner), I restructured and re-founded the company, providing the team with some ownership. My remit was to turn the seeds of a few promising products, and a tiny team, into a sustainable, fast-growing business. We ended up rebuilding our flagship product from the ground up, shuttered the other two products (three including the one I shut down to join Shorthand), and rebuilt the team.It worked. But we had a lot of luck, and help from people who believed in us, too.Today we’re proud to say that we can count some of the largest and most iconic brands and news orgs on the planet as happy customers. We’re equally proud that many of the most ambitious and aspiring brands turn to Shorthand to supercharge their most important content, too. We are backed by Fortitude Investment Partners.
