Charles is a career journalist with a longtime focus on the evolution of media and technology resources for small businesses around the world. Charles is also the Co-founder and Editor-in-Chief of BigFive Digital.
Charles has covered everything from the decline and fall of traditional media formats like newspapers and the Yellow Pages to the advent of cloud-based software and AI as engines of efficiency and growth for small businesses.
Charles is an enthusiastic (some say obnoxious) interviewer. He practices this craft as the lead moderator of the annual BigFive Summit in Cape Town. He has also moderated in-person events for the likes of BIA-Kelsey, Localogy, The Asian Local Search and Media Association (ALSMA), and many others.
Charles likes to tell people he can interview anyone stone cold (without prep or notes) and give the audience an engaging experience. His detractors would probably agree with this if they believed he was capable of letting his subject get a word in edgewise.
Charles also applies his interviewing skills to the BIG5D Podcast, where he insists he lets his subjects have their say. This show offers only the briefest intro and exit, devoting most of its time to the corporate leader, founder, investor, author, or newsmaker being interviewed.
