Michael Rodrigues
Joint CEO & Commercial Director
michael.rodrigues@au.timeout.com
Before starting Time Out in Australia with co-founder Justin, Mike was working as a lawyer in the Middle East, doing a bunch of shitty jobs. Quite literally. He’d been knee deep advising the sponsors of a sewerage project in the little known emirate of Ajman, north of Dubai. In the early days of the publishing venture he was instrumental in the corporate structuring and fundraising for Time Out Australia. These days he has primary responsibility for the commercial growth of the Time Out brand in Australia and New Zealand, new product development, and client services. His love of fine liquor sees him propping up bars around the country most school nights. He’s also a judge for several hospitality industry awards throughout the year.

Justin Etheridge
Joint CEO & Group Publisher
justin.etheridge@au.timeout.com
Justin is the Group Publisher of Time Out Australia. He co-founded the business with Mike Rodrigues, selflessly rescuing the latter from a career in law. The two of them set to work securing the publishing franchise for Australia & New Zealand as well as the start-up capital to do so. Justin has worked for more than a decade in the publishing industry. He was previously the Publisher of the Time Out Middle East titles, based in Dubai, where he took Time Out from a one-town print product to a regional multi-platform media brand (comprising magazines, travel guides, ticketing and more). Justin’s role as Publisher is to plot a course in Australia which breaks new digital ground and benefits readers and advertisers alike.
