Blair and I worked together on the Executive Team at oOh! media for several years. Blair is a fantastic orator, articulate, detailed and can warm the coolest rooms. Blair has the ability to navigate delicate scenarios with some of the finest diplomacy I have seen in my career. This is an enormously beneficial characteristic and talent in my opinion. His experience and understanding of the Australian media marketplace is of the highest calibre, particularly in the retail and commercial sectors of the market. Blair's wicked sense of humour and enviable wit makes him a pleasure to work with, but for me his greatest attribute is his integrity. Blair is a high quality human being with his family at the heart of everything he does.
