Kristina Noble and Simone BabicKristina, born in 1971 and Simone, born in 1974 are sisters who grew up in the Melbourne suburb of Glen Waverley.

Kristina completed a Bachelor of Economics and Graduate Diploma in Accounting at Monash University and began her career in the IT division of accounting firm, Grant Thornton. Simone studied a Bachelor of Science at Melbourne University, with a focus on communications and information exchange at a time when the internet was in its infancy.

Through sound management, flexibility and a firm eye on the future, the agency survived the infamous dot-com boom and crash. Citrus specialises in business to consumer applications and has a distinctive flair of delivering outstanding web sites integrated with a range of results driven online marketing solutions.
