On today's show I am joined by Todd Forest. Todd is the Managing Director of NAB Ventures, and established the venture fund at the beginning of 2016. NAB Ventures is a global initiative supporting entrepreneurs in Australia and offshore in their quest to build leading technology companies. Todd was previously the CEO of Clipp, a mobile payments and data business with a focus on hospitality. At Microsoft, he was the Head of MSN Asia Pacific, based out of Singapore and prior to that, was the Head of Digital at ninemsn. Todd also held senior management positions in Nike and AOL in the US. He has also been a successful angel investor over the past 12 years via Tasman Ventures Fund.
In this interview Todd speaks about his journey from Nike to NAB, how he makes Angel investments, disruption in financial services, and how he approaches corporate venturing at NAB ventures. He also talks about his views on adversity and the highs and lows of startup life.
Todd has had a huge range of experience. He has great insights and I'm sure you will take something away from this interview.
