Welcome to the latest episode of 'On the Couch'. This occasional podcast series of chats with fund managers, CEO’s and brokers aims to give you an insight into the investing world.

In this episode, I am joined by David Tudehope, CEO Macquarie Telecom Group. Absolutely delighted to get the opportunity to chat with him. David quit his banking job some years ago as a fresh faced 25-year old to start MAQ.

David co-founded the company with his brother Aidan. He is responsible for overseeing the general management and strategic direction of the Company, and is actively involved in the Company’s participation in regulatory issues. He was previously a director of the Service Providers’ Industry Association. He is a member of the Australian School of Business Advisory Council and the Australian Government’s B20 Leadership Group.

In this podcast we look at what MAQ does, why it is worth a look for investors in the tech space, the USP that MAQ has in a competitive IT field, and some lessons that David has learnt along the way to building a $1.3bn company.

Great podcast and worth listening to, especially if you are keen on local tech exposure.
