Andrew “Macca” Mackinnon gave birth to Taboo at the tender age of 20 and has spent the last 18 years pushing and pulling it into the burgeoning creative beast it is today.

An entrepreneur at heart, he opened the iconic Ponyfish Island Bar on the Yarra River, which then led to the birth of another baby – the Melbourne City Brewing Company. He also established Assembly House, a hub for creative entrepreneurs and freelancers, and his latest venture, ‘Skymorials,’ is the fastest growing online memorial site in the world.

He is also a dedicated member of the Entrepreneur’s Organisation Australia – Victoria Chapter, and was President in 2016.
