Speaker
The Spring Bay Mill story
Graeme Wood, Spring Bay Mill
How to buy a wood chip mill, save some beautiful forests and really annoy some annoying politicians.
Serial entrepreneur and impact investor, Graeme has been an environmentalist for as long as he can remember. His tertiary education record was patchy at best, finally earning a Bachelor of Economics after stumbling into the tech sector in the 1980s.
He got lucky with a breakthrough online accommodation booking system called wotif.com. The resulting financial payload allowed Graeme to support his favourite environmental campaigns.
He was awarded a honoris causa in Economics from the University of Queensland which seemed a bit odd because he struggles to explain what an economist actually does.
Graeme suspects the homo sapiens experiment will fail.
