ABOUT PAUL DUNN
Paul Dunn is at the forefront of management and marketing action on a global basis. Australia’s leading business magazine described him in 2011 as ‘a marketing guru turned philanthropist’.
He is an engineer by training but he soon discovered people were more interesting than “things”. He began his career in Australia at Hewlett Packard where he was one of just ten people in the Australian start up of the company.
In 1974, Paul wrote some innovative software that became the basis for one of Australia’s early technological successes—Hartley Computer. Until 1980 Paul was the marketing genius behind the company growing globally to a $23 Million enterprise.
In 2000, Paul sold all of his business interests to ‘retire’. But he continued speaking around the world and writing. He followed up the success of his first book, Write Right with, ‘The Firm of the Future’ written with Ronald A. Baker. It launched in 2003 is now regarded as a standard text for professional service firms.
In 2006 Paul had what he describes as a very personal experience with people impacted by the 2004 Tsunami. “It was,” he says, “my first real understanding of the power businesses have to change our lives.”
Paul has been involved in B1G1 since 2007 and now invests all of his time, energy and passion into the growth of the initiative around the world. He used to have a quote on his desk that said, "Trying to be as good as my dog thinks I am." Trouble is, he had it even when he had no dog!
ABOUT MASAMI SATO
Masami was born in Japan. Her desire to expand her horizons at an early age took her on a journey of exploration travelling throughout the world. She travelled to over 30 countries and lived and worked in Canada, New Zealand and Australia before moving to Singapore in 2007 to found the global giving initiative B1G1. It was during her travels that she realized, maybe, giving was the key to happiness.
While being a mother of 2 young children, she has also been an active entrepreneur. Since 2001, she has founded and led several enterprises and initiatives, including B1G1.
Recognised as one of the ‘Top 30 Female Entrepreneurs to Look Out For’, Masami is also a two-time TEDx speaker, and an author of three books: “GIVING BUSINESS”, “JOY”, and “ONE”
