I was the founder and managing director of Frank Digital which was acquired in 2018 by Jaywing plc. I continued to successfully manage the company reporting to a board of directors until Nov 2022. During that period I also co-founded a technology and events company called Social Playground. We successfully franchised Social Playground globally creating Australia's first live Instagram printer. This company was later acquired by Polite in Public and is now Polite Playground.
