As a native Australian living in America, Ed Fox gets attention every time he talks. The novelty of being an Aussie in the U.S. serves him well in his role as CEO of Tradebank in Nashville, Tennessee and Tradebank of Wichita, Kansas. As the owner of these two thriving barter exchange networks, he helps businesses trade products or services they offer in order to get what they need, without spending cash.
Ed’s been an entrepreneur since he was 15 and started a general store in his hometown of Grafton, New South Wales, Australia. He attributes the store’s success to his parents offering to become his business partners. Together they grew it into a million dollar business. From that point forward, he’s been a lifelong entrepreneur with a passion for helping other business owners live up to their potential, and grow their businesses and professional networks.
