Rob Antulov, CEO of 3eep, says Baker's addition to the 3eep board is a coup. "Simon's experience managing rapid growth and international expansion of an online business is well known. He is xceptionally well regarded as an entrepreneur who has executed a vision to build one of Australia's most successful online entities and he is renowned for his expertise in this field."

"His insights into online business, web technologies, and the global business environment will be invaluable to the continued success of 3eep."

"The team at 3eep has identified a globally-relevant business model which marries the needs of local sports participants who want to better manage their teams and connect with each other, with innovative new web technology, and, importantly, with advertisers' desire to reach into these active local communities. This is an exciting combination to bring together in one online space."
