Journalism

Here are some samples of my work, updated periodically:

From AFR Boss magazine, here’s a piece on the Science of Search, and a profile on social scientist Duncan Watts.

Also from Boss a piece on the science of resilience

Each month in Boss I review three or four books, as well as review what’s going on on the internet as far as innovative websites, blogs, podcasts and the like is concerned. Here’s an example from June 2010.

Here’s a more substantial piece of business writing, a report for the Economist Intelligence Unit on the Australian private equity market, published in March 2008

Corporate literature

Over the past ten years I have written everything from annual reports and CEO speeches to market research analyses, strategy documents, pitches, presentations, and brochures. Here are a few recent examples:

A study on Distressed Investing in Australia, for Blake Dawson and PricewaterhouseCoopers: 650565352_1_distressed-investing-in-australia

PricewaterhouseCoopers twice-yearly Major Banks Analysis, May 2008

Here’s a fascinating piece for Towers Perrin on the impact of the rating agencies’ integration of ERM into the credit rating process for non-financial companies from 2007.

and this one, from Swiss Re, is from a few years ago, but is one of my favourites.

I have more if you are really having trouble sleeping.
