CISO Council Speaker
CISO Council - Cybersixgill 8/17/2021As a technology executive, I operate in environments that are under constant threat. From emerging technology innovations to increasing customer demands, an enterprise’s ability to create and evolve digital capabilities is a powerful weapon. I understand the critical importance of being strategically agile and able to identify and align innovation and emerging technologies with top business priorities. Over the last two decades, I have navigated a constantly evolving arena to enable business performance through technology transformation.
Through strategic acuity, I turn what’s ‘possible’ into what’s ‘plausible’. Leveraging an early career in engineering, I bring a logical and calm approach to leadership that considers the ‘whole’ of the business in solution definition and delivery. Shown through progression into roles requiring a more holistic approach to technology and digital change than just program delivery, I have instigated, influenced and rallied support for major initiatives to shift legacy environments into future state capabilities. Most recently, I have provided a conduit between business and technology with UNSW, mobilising the initial stages of a state of the art technology program that is set to realise multimillion-dollar business benefits and empower the organisation to achieve its 2025 mission.
With an ability to see the end-state across a vast technology landscape, I ensure the early identification of risks, issues and opportunities, engaging direct teams, vendors and digital talent enterprise-wide in shaping solutions that meet both staff and customer needs. By putting people at the core of all decisions, I create innovative digital and enterprise technology capabilities with enduring value return
