Before establishing Afterpay, Nick launched the leading American online jeweller, Ice.com, in Australia, where he successfully grew to become the largest online-only jewellery and watch retailer.

He is the quintessential multi-talented entrepreneur with the rare ability to effortlessly transition from consumer finance to marketing and everything in between.

After being told that nobody would ever hire him, Justin quit the bureaucracy and negativity of Palos Verdes High School to start a marketplace for unlocked cell phones, which was acquired by a family office when he was 19 years old. More recently, Justin founded 500friends, the leading loyalty and retention marketing platform for retailers, which merged with Merkle in 2014, and was eventually acquired by Dentsu Aegis in 2016.

Justin also served as an early investor and board member of Wunderkind, where he saw 5-10% of its customers file for bankruptcy every year due to bad management, culture, technical deck, lack of scale, and of course Amazon. This led him to become the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of CSC Generation Holdings, one of the dime a dozen "unicorn" start-ups.
