Early life and education

While studying, Liveris cofounded the data-analytics firm, Applecart.[9][10] Applecart is a platform with $12.5 million in funding and more than $30 million in revenue, that enables advertisers to reach high-value business decision-makers.[11] The platform uses publicly available data to map out the closest personal and professional relationships--the influencers--of those decision-makers that advertiser clients, such as KKR and Boeing, then market to with highly targeted messaging.[11] Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel is a board member.[12][13]

Proto Axiom

Liveris was appointed CEO of Proto Axiom in May of 2022.[14][15] Proto Axiom is a biotechnology incubator with headquarters in Sydney, Australia.[16] The biotechnology firm has announced partnerships with David A.

Proto Axiom raised its Series B in 2024,[24] valuing the company at $90 million.[25]

Major League Pickleball Australia & PPA Tour Australia

Liveris is the President of Major League Pickleball Australia,[26][27] the official professional league of Australia.[28] The company has announced a partnership with America’s Major League Pickleball (MLP) forming 12 teams throughout Asia Pacific.[27] Beach Volleyball Olympian Natalie Cook and professional golfer Adam Scott are owners of the Gold Coast Glory.[29][30]

Political affiliations

Liveris has worked for Senator Mitt Romney's 2012 Presidential campaign, Tony Blair's Africa Governance Initiative and for former Liberal Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.[5][31] In 2019, Liveris attended the U.S. State Dinner in honour of then Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison.[32][33] Following the Australian Federal election of 2022, Liveris published a piece for the Australian Financial Review critical of Senator Amanda Stoker's views on the election.[15] Liveris briefly worked for Andrew Forrest's Fortescue Future Initiative.[34]
