About Me

Cullen Habel: Quantitative market researcher with an eye on the bigger picture and a skydive habit to support. I've come to realise I will always be "of Adelaide" - family and business - although I travel out for the odd sortie. Onetime, sometime lecturer in marketing, and often trying to look beyond the obvious. What I say/think here are not the opinions of anyone but me.
