Adam Shand is a journalist with more than 20 years' experience in Australian television and print media. As a cadet with The Australian newspaper in the 1980s, he covered the rise and fall of the entrepreneurs, breaking numerous financial stories before covering the stockmarket crash of 1987.

Joining the Nine Network in 1991, Adam reported for the Business Sunday program in Sydney and Melbourne. In 1994, he left Australia to open a bureau for the Nine Network in Africa and other international media organisations. He travelled extensively across the continent during which time he covered the rise to power of Nelson Mandela in South Africa, the genocide in Rwanda and the corruption of Zimbabwe's democracy. Adam also reported on his own traditional marriage to his wife Sekai, a Shona woman from Zimbabwe, for A Current Affair.

Returning home in 1997, Adam joined Today as Melbourne correspondent for three years, before joining The Australian Financial Review newspaper as an investigative reporter in Melbourne and Sydney. He rejoined the Packer group in 2004, kicking off with an 18-month investigation into Melbourne's bloody underworld war for the Sunday program and The Bulletin magazine. Adam's work was the basis of a book, Big Shots, which will be published soon.

Adam's recent projects for Sunday and The Bulletin have also included an in-depth look at the outlaw motorcycle culture, which involved spending time with some of Australia's and America's most notorious bikie groups.

He lives in Melbourne with his two children.
