Stockhead is written by Australia’s only team of full-time business reporters and contributors dedicated to covering emerging listed companies.
Editorial Team
Rob Badman
Associate Director, Markets, Tech & Health

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.

A passionate soccer player and coach, he will never consider selling his West Ham United stock.
