When you want a specialist in business, finance and economics, I am your man.
My purpose is to leave the world better informed and to do that I inform myself by reading 5 papers a day before 9am. I then write and podcast for top 500 companies and ruling bodies about the Australian political and economic climate and the financial outcomes that affect business and individuals every day.
I specialise in intelligent, highly informative media such as:
- Budget breakdown analysis 2018
- Talking Business Podcast (top 10 globally)
If you need a globally recognised journalist in finance, economics and politics, call 0411 745 193 or email leon@leongettler.com. Together we can showcase your organisation by producing the best media in the Australian financial landscape.
