Ronnie Dungan
Ronnie is a business journalist of more than 30 years' experience, cutting his teeth in the analogue age before email existed, when phones and (yes) fax machines (Google them), worked perfectly fine. He has been the leader of more than a dozen titles in markets as varied as video games, music, outdoor retail, licensing, franchising, employer branding and other stuff he has since forgotten. In that time he has interviewed countless business leaders, the occasional rock star and even a high-profile glove puppet. Guess which one spoke the most sense?
