Alistair graduated from Rhodes in 1997 and has been working in online publishing ever since. In 2007 he took the opportunity to specialise in product management as part of 24.com’s Social Networking & Media division, where he oversaw the launch of new products, including Laaik.it, Play24 and Answerit. A fanatical movie lover, he would rather watch the classics than sit through another Michael Bay “spectacular”. He recently got married, and lives with her and a cat named Boo in Cape Town.
