Bio
I am an experienced technologist and business leader with a career spanning nearly 30 years in international consultancy and corporate roles across a diverse range of sectors.
During the last decade I have had a number of Senior Executive roles, as Chief Information Officer or Chief Technology Officer, in large complex corporate and government environments, ranging in size from tens to thousands of IT personnel.
During the 80’s and 90’s I founded and established a successful IT Consulting company, after an initial period learning my trade at a ‘big four’ consultancy. The company I founded became renowned, through white papers, trade articles and at conferences, for pioneering with emerging technologies at a portfolio of blue chip companies in Europe and the US.
I was at the forefront of the wave of new technologies such as Decision Support and Executive Information in the 80’s and throughout the ‘90’s I was again early with internet and advanced networking technologies - including a number of ‘world first’ client implementations for, amongst others, Oracle and Microsoft
More recently I was the first CTO for Aviva in the UK and implemented the world’s first “Pay As You Drive” capability for the Insurer. As Executive General Manager for Business Technology Solutions at Suncorp I was responsible for leading business innovation through technology, and as CTO at Hollard Insurance pioneered a new cloud based technology strategy for the insurer.
I have qualifications in both Computing and Business, in addition to my professional teaching qualifications, and media training, that make me a capable communicator. I am a seasoned public speaker at industry conferences, plus a guest lecturer at a number of Universities and have published articles on my leading edge perspectives.
I advise companies through the government Mentoring for Growth programme, sit on the boards of a number of Australian companies, and chair the Queensland Group X Digital Careers Program.
