From 2000 - 2002, Drew was General Manager of eBusiness at CLEAR Communications – a second stint following his role there as Business Development Manager in the late nineties.

Drew’s experience comprises a number of other roles with well-known names such as Advantage Group, Terabyte Interactive and Apple Computer.

His leadership in general management and sales, combined with his extensive experience in product development and technology marketing, make Drew the perfect lead for the newly-formed sales and marketing team at Kordia. His tenure commenced on 14 April 2009.
