Meet Mon

A bit about Mon ...

"Some people call me an internet pioneer while others say I have been selling online advertising longer than most people in Australia, mostly it just explains why I have been in the internet advertising industry since 1995! Yes a long time I know! But what can I say, I was bitten by the internet bug almost 14 years ago and my interest and passion for online has not gone away yet. I started with Reuters, then moved to Yellow and White Pages Online in Melbourne before I was lured away to Sydney by Ozemail in 1997. Then in 1999 I decided to go out and start my own online advertising business called Tempest Media which we sold to global online media company: Adconion in July 2007. Throughout that time I have also owned and run Shesaid.com.au a womens online magazine that covers lifestyle, entertainment and beauty for busy Australian chicks online. I also try to have a life outside of work with my spunky husband and two hilarious young sons."
