John Band is a Sydney-based content leader for B2B technology companies, with an editor’s instincts and a strategy consultant’s training. He leads global content at Protecht, a risk management software company, reporting to the CMO and owning content strategy, SEO and AEO across APAC, North America and EMEA.
His career has run from business journalism at Datamonitor, through strategy consulting at PwC and digital publishing at GlobalData, to digital communications and marketing roles at the Warren Centre, Starkey and Protecht.
