Australian CEOs that Twitter

48 Comments

1. Hey Laurel – I post comments too! 🙂

2. Yes dear you do *rolls eyes* Heh. 🙂

3. CEOs that Twitter:

   – Atlassian: Mike Cannon-Brookes (mcannonbrookes)
   – 2Vouch: Riges Younan (rigesyounan)
   – Linqia: Maria Sipka (mariasipka) – cheating a bit because Maria is an Aussie in Barcelona

   Pollenizer doesn’t have a CEO… or has two… 🙂

4. Craig Wilson aka Media Hunter at Sticky Advertising

   Stephen Collins aka trib at Acid Labs

5. Oh not sole-owner CEOs – I think Business Week meant employing people and stuff. Otherwise I’m on the list and so are half of our industry 🙂

6. John Butterworth, AIMIA, @jbdigital
   Paul Fischer, IAB, @PaulFisher_IAB
   Wendy Hogan, CBS Interactive, @wendy_hogan

   It’s also interesting to think about how they might have started on twitter?

   That’s what I’m asking today.

7. You beat me to the punch, Laurel! Great post, as always!

8. Hey Laurel, I blog a little, too, albeit very infrequently, at http://blog.3eep.com (and, while SportsPassion is our key product brand, the company is still 3eep)

9. I have four staff. Is that too micro-business for your list? If not, you could add Bridge8 (http://twitter.com/kristinalford)

10. I’m also on Twitter with 4 staff, we’ll actually be using it for BETA testing soon.
    C’mon Laurel, show some love…?

11. Laurel,

    I would add CEO of ineedhits (30 odd staff) Warren Duff http://twitter.com/warrenduff

    And also myself CEO of Minti (a few staff and $3.8M in funding to date) http://twitter.com/claycook

    I will think of some others for you.

    Good post.

    Regards
    Clay Cook

15. Hey Laurel,

    Excellent post, great stuff. There is also a bigger picture of who are the continuous innovators (Proven Innovators) and continuous early adopters (and influencers) that would be cool to list or map. Happy to collaborate sometime on that if you want.

    For this list you could also add –

    Marc Lehmann Saasu.com, ex Deutsche Bank
    twitter.com/marclehmann
    marclehmann.net

    Peter Cooper from Cooper Sydney, ex Saasu.com + MacBank (me)
    twitter.com/pc0
    peterjcooper.com and alturnal.com

    Cheers, Peter.

16. Hey Laurel
    Good to see some Australian CEO’s Twittering away too 🙂

    I think there’s a few on there I’ll have to start following myself 🙂
    Am thinking perhaps I should come up with a similar list for some UK CEO’s – I’m sure there’s quite a few that twitter 🙂

    If I do come up with that list – do you want me to let you know about it?

17. Yes, please let me know which UK CEOs Twitter. The only one I can think of, off hand, is @RichardBranson. 🙂

18. @bronwen – NorgMedia
    @richardgiles – Recommendation Ventures

19. hmmm…does it count if you’re about to employ people, and are part owned by other big fat companies

24. What a great post Laurel.

    I think that social media, and in particular Twitter, is going to become a tool of trade for the go ahead CEOs and companies in 2009 who want to brand themselves.

    Using such tools at Tweetbeep (which seems to be down at the moment) and Twilert, they can be alerted to the mention of their name good or bad. They can thank people for the compliments and put fires out generated by bad comments before they become viral.

    Twitter is an enormous weapon in the PR arsenal of any company and used wisely and with conviction will see many a company increase their sales and also their branding and perception in the marketplace. I for one will be looking for opportunities to work with such companies in showing them how to do this as will many experienced social media people.

    Cheers

    @RicRaftis on Twitter

25. Hey Laurel,

    Thanks for including me in your list. Yes, I do twitter and while relatively new am getting a lot of learning and benefits both personally and also for my members (of the Australian Businesswomen’s Network – http://www.abn.org.au).

    What I didn’t anticipate is new friendships that are forming from having found like-minded souls that I want to know more about.

    Thanks for playing on the edge and taking us with you.

    Suzi

26. Who tweets?http://tinyurl.com/76358j

27. It is definitely good to see CEO’s out there on Twitter, though by and large they appear to be the CEO’s for start ups or relatively new businesses in the tech space – which is no surprise. I would really like to see more CEO’s from more traditional industries and bigger companies on Twitter. That could be very entertaining!

28. Plz If you are a company/CEO follow @inc5000. If also Australian plz see http://twurl.nl/tdh8my Not really looking for sole operators, soz.

32. Finally, after a long campaign my boss at Geekdom @troyrushton has embraced the Twitter-y goodness. I’m so proud! I think he’s been pleasantly surprised at how powerful a tool it can be for talking to likeminded people and sharing his passion.

33. One more American CEO to follow is @jobing, Aaron Matos, CEO of the largest locally focused job board in the U.S. Also, here’s a list of my favorite 15 CEO’s to follow on Twitter…here’s the link: http://jobpal.com/hfi6

48. Excellent blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?

    I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
    Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go
    for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally
    overwhelmed .. Any tips? Cheers!
