Rowan Simpson - Lies

Rowan Simpson is an experienced software developer and business person.

In 1999 he started a website called Flathunt which he sold the following year in exchange for some shares in a small but promising company called Trade Me. He became employee #3, and the first whose surname wasn't Morgan. It worked out okay.

Since leaving Trade Me in 2007, Rowan has been involved in a number of other tech start-ups - including Xero, Fishpond, Sonar6 and, most recently, Vend.

Rowan is a partner at Southgate Labs and blogs at RowanSimpson.com.

In his five minutes in the Ignite spotlight he will talk about how we teach kids to lie and whether or not it still counts as cheating if you don't get caught.
