Michael Pascoe

For a long stretch, Michael Pascoe was the Nine Network's finance editor, explaining money and business news to a national television audience. That's the skill he brings to a business conference, making economic stories clear to a room that isn't full of economists. He speaks, and he can also facilitate a conference program. His journalism started at The Courier-Mail, took in time in Hong Kong and then the Australian Financial Review, and moved into financial reporting on radio as well as television. He has also written online commentary and personal-finance columns. Based in New South Wales.
