"After acquiring a number of great Internet companies over the past year, it became clear we had to capitalize on the amazing creativity and opportunity in this rapidly growing space. We formed IPDG to harness the collective intelligence in the Photon Group Internet division, and take Australian Web 2.0 innovations to the world," said Tim Hughes, Chairman of Photon Group.
Siimon Reynolds has been appointed as chairman of IPDG, Colin Fabig is heading up internet product development, and Ari Klinger has taken up the position of CEO. Ari Klinger will be heading up the Silicon Valley offices and building out the US team.

We are working with a number of companies both in Australia and overseas to help grow our existing opportunity pipeline and to find additional products to launch in the US and other international markets.
