My name is Graham Hills and I am originally from Perth, Western Australia. I graduated from Curtin University and have for the last six years I have worked in the exciting field of online travel. I started out in this field at what was then the Western Australian Tourism Commission which is now more commonly known as Tourism Western Australia. It was then July 2003 and my first role was as a content publisher on the project that would launch the first version of westernaustralia.com. From there I moved into the online marketing team which at the time had two people, myself and my manager.

In my earlier days as the online marketing officer I had a fairly broad role that allowed me to get a good taste for the online industry working on everything from database acquisition campaigns, email marketing, content management, brand campaigns, and looking after the day to day management of a government tourism website.

I then moved into a more focused role as Online Product Manager where I managed a major redevelopment of westernaustralia.com which had a strong focus on promoting a stronger brand proposition, a focus on usability and the information architecture as well as strong focus on SEO.

In December 2007 I moved to Singapore to take up the position of Content Manager at OctopusTravel an online hotel booking company where I worked until November 2008. I have since joined Yahoo! in Singapore where I now work as the Travel Product Manager responsible for managing travel products and maximising monetisation in key South East Asian markets.

Outside of work I love to travel and experience new cultures. I love to hang out with friends, eat, drink and generally have a good time. I have recently taken up dragon boating with the British Dragon Boat team. I love sport and love to see a good AFL match on TV when they’re shown on Singapore TV.
