Writing

Journalism

Here are some samples of my work, updated periodically:

From AFR Boss magazine, a profile on social scientist Duncan Watts

Also from Boss a piece on the science of resilience

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.

What I'm working on

February 4: I haven't updated this panel since October 24. That's totally out of order, but in my defense, worklife has been exceedingly hectic of late. I have just come down the mountains from the World Economic Forum in Davos, at which I was employed to write summaries of the sessions. It was a hugely exciting affair to be a part of and an immense privilege to be in such close proximity to such a large pool of the world's top talent. But not nearly as exciting as everything that is going on at Business 21c. Check it out.
