Graeme Wood
Founder & Executive Director Wotif.com
Graeme Wood revolutionised the travel industry in Australia when he created the concept for, and co-founded, Wotif.com in 2000. From his simple and innovative idea, Graeme pioneered Wotif.com’s development into a multi-national group, which employs more than 400 people in offices spread across the globe.
During his seven years at the helm, Wotif.com became one of Australia’s most successful and well-known online businesses, with Graeme and the company winning awards and accolades along the way, including: Overall Winner and Winner of Outstanding Achievement by an Organisation in the Services Sector – Premier of Queensland’s SMART Awards 2004, Australian Institute of Management Medal for Management Innovation – 2004 Management Excellence Awards, National winner of the Technology, Communications, E-Commerce and Life Sciences category – 2005 Ernst and Young, Entrepreneur of the Year awards, Winner of the Inspiration iAward and the Tourism & Hospitality category – AIIA iAwards 2006, Winner of the “Most significant contribution by a large business or corporate” at the Vero Excellence in Business Support Awards 2007, Three consecutive annual awards from Hitwise Internet intelligence service, announcing Wotif.com as the #1 Travel – Destinations and Accommodation website across Australia for 2004 to 2007 and 2008 Suncorp Queenslander of the Year – the state’s highest citizenship honour, recognising individuals who have made a significant achievement in their chosen field and who have made a difference in their community.
Graeme also rates overseeing Wotif.com’s listing on the Australian Stock Exchange in June 2006, as a major career highlight.
In October 2007, Graeme retired from his role as CEO and Managing Director of Wotif.com, but continues to play a key strategic role in the company as an Executive Director and also maintains a significant financial interest. In his new position, Graeme is focused on developing new business concepts and the ongoing promotion of Wotif.com.

wotnews
Wotnews sources US business news across a vast set and variety of sources because what you read in the traditional media is only one perspective.
Our Mission and Purpose
The web is a fantastic resource for news. News is available from a broad variety of sources including traditional news networks, blogs and social networks, direct from companies, government agencies, industry bodies and so on. And the wonderful thing about this variety of sources is the variety of perspectives, opinions and facts they contain.
Of course there's a catch. The web is a vast universe of largely unstructured data. Finding and organising what's relevant is traditionally a very manual and very personal process.
Wotnews was conceived and built largely to try and solve this problem.
Wotnews indexes US News
Wotnews sources US news across a vast set and variety of sources because what you read in the traditional media is only one perspective. At Wotnews our team of human news fanatics and our even more fanatical automated news bots are dedicated to finding and organising the whole story across every perspective, wherever it appears on the web, and making it available to you in one place.
User Benefits
- Read the latest and most reported stories as they break.
- Monitor the biggest news makers - which companies are most mentioned? Which business leaders and politicians are dominating the media?
- Stay on top of the big issues in your industry.
- Monitor news about your own company or investments - your customers, clients, prospects, competitors and so on.
Register now for Wotnews
Even better, register for Wotnews totally free and stay ahead of your colleagues and competitors. Set up you own personalised news profile and receive news on the topics, people, companies and industries you're interested in direct to your inbox first thing each morning.
And that's just the beginning.
Right now Wotnews analyses every US business news article it finds. It looks for the people, companies, themes, locations and products mentioned and tags and indexes everything. Using this information, Wotnews can rate and graph who and what are getting the most mentions in the news at any given time and show how these rankings shift over the course of the day.
But what next?
Analyse the News
Imagine then if you could do deeper analysis of this aggregated US business news data?
The possibilities
- Uncover the connections between people, companies, products etc?
- Detect the negative vs positive bias towards a given person across thousands of articles at a given point or across a data range?
- Deduce which companies are supplying other companies and who's competing with whom?
- Identify companies that fit a specific profile, like for example, you target customer profile?
The questions we find ourselves asking are almost endless. And we know the answers are all hidden somewhere in the news. Here at Wotnews we're working hard to create some tools for our next release that will help you find the answers.
