Comment:
"Aspermont is the global leader in business-to-business media for the resources sector. We bring together communities to collaborate, problem solve and find innovative breakthroughs for some of the most pressing challenges in the world today. Our company is independent, our journalists are free to express their views and we allow and encourage our audiences to express a right of response. The increasing role our organisation plays, at such a pivotal time for civilisation, gives me both inspiration and a sense of responsibly.
Over the last few years, Aspermont has transformed from a centuries old print publisher into a leading mediatech innovator. We remain entrenched as a content, information and intelligence business but are also now a data and marketing services business.
We have been in a high growth phase for several years now but are still very much at the foothills of our opportunity. Alongside an outstanding management team, we are building new platforms and technologies that will lay the foundations for decades of further high organic growth.
Aspermont has achieved a significant amount over the last few years but truly there has never been a more exciting time."

Comment:
"I came to Aspermont because I saw an opportunity for the company to truly dominate a global industry the size that mining is, from an end-to-end media perspective. Moreover, Aspermont had demonstrated technological leadership in both digital subscriptions and paywall solutions, which had been implemented before any other media company was even thinking this way.
The company had a clear vision of how it wanted to develop both as a business and technologically. Given my experience in building similar models and platforms at Incisive Media and VNU (now Nielsen) I believed I could help them realise that vision with the knowledge that their Executive team knew exactly what would be required, which was a total transformation of the business and culture.
Project Horizon was the architecture we developed, to help Aspermont build both a disruptive solution, for b2b media in general, and a system that would enable it to meet it business goals. That architecture has underpinned a decade in consecutive quarters of back-to-back growth performance in subscriptions. As we develop Aspermont next architecture, Project Skywave, we will accelerate our commercial model development in the Data space, taking the company to the next level.
What excites me most about Aspermont is the fact the we have only just started the journey with our market leading content and there are so many products and facets we can bring into our media solution that will enhance profitability not just in mining but all the other sectors we scale to."

"Aspermont's positioning in its markets and the blue-chip client bases it serves, reflects both the credibility and leadership of its brands and also the opportunities it has to leverage them going forward. The company has spent nearly 20 years building and refining its subscription-based digital media solution which is now providing scalability. It has also in the last five years restructured its entire operating structure, embarked on several growth initiatives creating new revenue streams through a diversified portfolio of services. With scalable infrastructure, revenue diversification, huge growth opportunities and focus on talent and people development, it is an exciting time both for Aspermont and for us that work there."
