In this episode, Neil and Jason talk to Philip Belcher about his career as one of Australia’s most successful, but possibly least recognised, technology sector CEOs. Philip’s behind-the-scenes stories and strategies when managing multi-national companies such as NEC and Cisco Systems makes riveting and relevant listening for sole traders, freelancers and small companies alike; as does his fascinating insight into steering the audacious sale of the legendary digital audio workstation company Fairlight, to fellow Australian media-tech company, Blackmagic Design.
