Business Chief APAC+ANZ Magazine April 2016 | Page 3

EDITOR ’ S COMMENT IT ’ S APRIL , WHICH MEANS I ’ ve reached my one-year anniversary as editor of Business Review Australia .
It ’ s been a fun 12 months full of highs and lows , as well as new twists and turns . It ’ s taken roughly 366 days , but I ’ ve finally navigated one entire trip around the sun and helped produce 12 issues of this magazine
But writing insightful , engaging stories isn ’ t my only duty as editor . It ’ s also about meeting the right people , telling their story and learning as much as you can throughout the process .
I had the opportunity to speak with such a person just a few weeks ago . This month ’ s lead feature is an exclusive interview with RedBalloon founder and Shark Tank Australia star Naomi Simson , who sheds light on her love of blogging , philanthropic efforts and a look back to her childhood .
Next , Citrix ANZ director of technical services Safi Obeidullah shares his strategies to ensure your next investment is able to quickly deliver returns . In addition , Civmec co-founder and CEO Pat Tallon explains the agile philosophy that is keeping his company ahead during challenging times .
The April edition wraps up with a report on Ricoh Australia ’ s dedication to customer service , as well as the top 10 cloud billing service companies .
The only thing missing for me now is making a visit to Australia from the U . S ., and finally getting a chance to meet with all of you who have been so supportive over the past year . It ’ s only a matter of time .
Until then , enjoy the issue !
