About the speaker:
Barry is the co-founder of Neon with his wife, Hayley, building the world’s first wedding visualization platform. At its core, Neon is a marketplace that creates highly relevant curated connections between buyers & sellers. Having written nearly US$500bn in a corporate finance career in London and Sydney, the entrepreneurial bug bit hard when Barry stumbled across the opportunity the wedding industry presented whilst helping Hayley grow her wedding coaching business.
Neon is their third pivot, each time a marketplace has been central to commercializing a ‘good idea’, and having deep connections with the Uber community has influenced the strategic direction of how their own global marketplace will grow.
