Gregor Stronach
Production Editor
[email protected]
Gregor has been a journalist since the age of 11, most of that time spent writing about cars, motorcycles, parenting and serial killers (but not all at once). He’s a founding contributor to The Chaser, written speeches for federal senators and spent a decade lecturing post graduate Media and Comms at the University of Sydney. He’d also like to thank whoever recently broke into his crypto account for reminding him he has a crypto account.

 

Josh Chiat
Senior Resources Reporter
[email protected]
With a background in history and communications studies, Josh spent four years as a reporter at the Kalgoorlie Miner and arrives at Stockhead after several years working across newspapers, sport and community engagement. Reporting from Australia’s unofficial mining capital, he wrote its weekly Mine Talk feature, and was a regular contributor to the West Australian’s business section. A passionate soccer player and coach, he will never consider selling his West Ham United stock.

 

Rob Badman
Cryptocurrency Editor
[email protected]
Pizza delivery boy, cinema usher, journalist, sub editor, deputy chief sub, chief sub, digital producer, Sydney Morning Herald page editor, copywriter and a journalist again. That’s one way to sum up UK-based Australian Rob’s career. Maybe he’ll come full circle and get into the pizza biz once more. Until then, he’s writing about crypto and holding too many s**tcoins.

 


Michael Washbourne
Senior Journalist
[email protected]
Michael joined Stockhead after almost 10 years with Paydirt Media. He started his career as a cadet with The Sunday Times/PerthNow where he wrote about pretty much everything except business. Expect any conversation with him to awkwardly segue to sport. In another life, he is a “leading” cricket commentator in the emerging nations of Croatia and Montenegro.

 

Eddy Sunarto
Journalist
[email protected]
Eddy spent the best part of the last decade in Tokyo and London, gaining experience at investment banks and learning hands on about the financial markets. He’s always been an enthusiastic follower of Australian equities, even when living overseas. Now back in Australia, he joins Stockhead keen on applying his market knowledge to cover breaking news on multiple ASX sectors.

 

Emma Davies
Journalist
[email protected]
Emma has been writing about resources for the past five years – give or take a year when she had a short stint as the editor of a national education paper. In her spare time, she writes about women in sport with work published in Foxtel Magazine and the Women’s Game.

 

Nadine McGrath
Journalist
[email protected]
Nadine is a Brisbane-based journalist with a keen interest in financial markets and the economy. Her media career kicked off as a rural reporter with WIN Television progressing to News Ltd and Australian Associated Press. She’s also worked on the other side in public relations. Nadine has a keen interest in seeking out and telling stories from ASX-listed small and midcaps across a range of sectors. In her spare time (!) she’s mostly bossing her three teenagers around and if that all becomes too much she’ll head out for a run or hit the yoga mat.

 

Cameron Drummond
Journalist
[email protected]
Cameron spent almost 10 years with Business News as a journalist and contributor and honed his skills as a resources specialist working at the Australian Mining Review. He’s worked with blockchain companies, had his work published in Forbes and Reuters; and freelanced for a range of businesses both domestic and international. When he’s not deep into work you’ll find him waking up at insane hours to watch his beloved Liverpool take to the pitch.
