David Astley Email & Phone Number | I started my media career as a provincial newspaper reporter in the UK. I then worked for Haymarket in London as an assistant editor of consumer magazines and editor of trade newspapers, before emigrating to Australia. I worked there as a journalist and also started my own business, but then in 1980 moved into broadcast media management when I was offered the opportunity to manage a television station in Darwin, NT. Over the next 22 years I worked for progressively larger networks – including six years as Managing Director of two publicly listed companies - gaining experience in free-to-air television and radio management, and satellite pay-TV. I worked on numerous mergers, acquisitions, JVs and IPOs in Australia and Asia, and then in 2002 was appointed Secretary-General of the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU), based in Malaysia. After retiring from the ABU in 2010, I worked on some publishing projects including a book on tropical orchids which was published by Marshall Cavendish International. During that period I also chaired a Singapore-based NGO, The Media Alliance, in a part-time non-executive capacity. In 2013, I took over the CEO role of that organisation to complete a climate change awareness campaign in four Southeast Asian countries. That was followed by some part-time consulting work for the ASEAN Secretariat in the 10 ASEAN countries, after which I established Banyan Media, working out of Australia and the Philippines.
