ABOUT
I'm the person executive teams trust to make the call.
I'm the person executive teams bring in when a complex technology landscape needs to be translated into something governed, resilient, and built to scale. Over a 15-year career across global organisations, I've led technology strategy, integration architecture, and cyber governance with a focus on solving hard operational problems.
I'm at my best holding real strategic accountability while staying directly involved in how systems actually get built. I've led both large and lean technical teams, but my focus is always on impact and architecture over administrative overhead - delivering capability, driving execution, and ensuring the technology works seamlessly under the hood.

PROJECTS
Things I've Built
WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR
A role I can own, not just manage.
Learning and growth matter just as much to me. If there's new technology to get across and genuine problems to solve, not just steady-state maintenance, I'm interested. A role that stays static gets old fast for me.
I'm targeting senior technology leadership: CTO, Head of IT, or ICT Manager level, ideally somewhere with a real governance and security mandate. I'm drawn to environments with genuinely broken or fragmented systems that need to talk to each other, real complexity, real scalability concerns, rather than something already running smoothly. That's where I do my best work.
I'm Melbourne-based, open to occasional travel, and available with 1-2 weeks' notice.
OUTSIDE OF WORK
I hiked 100 kilometres in 36 hours for the Oxfam Trailwalker with three colleagues, raising $5,000 AUD for charity along the way.
