I’m a technology and cyber security executive with 20+ years of experience leading transformation, driving commercial growth, solving strategic challenges, and advising senior executives across financial services, technology, government, and multinationals. Across leadership roles at DXC Technology, IBM and KPMG, I have worked at the intersection of technology strategy, cyber security, AI, business transformation, and commercial outcomes. My experience spans consulting, managed services, sales leadership, executive advisory, security operations, product and service innovation, and transformation in regulated, complex environments. Throughout my career, I have helped organisations solve high-stakes challenges where business strategy, technology, risk, and commercial priorities intersect. This has included improving resilience, enabling growth, resolving delivery issues, creating customer value, and identifying opportunities for innovation, investment, and long-term value creation. Examples include: • Leading cyber security portfolios across major enterprise and regulated environments, including governance of large-scale operations and distributed teams across Asia Pacific • Enabling $40M+ annual cyber security sales through strategic customer engagement, complex deal support, commercial solutioning, and trusted advisory leadership • Designing analytics-led security capabilities that reduced software vulnerabilities by more than 99% across 65,000+ endpoints, improved governance and created recurring revenue opportunities • Leading IBM’s largest security services sale in Asia Pacific, valued at $25M • Defining a Google-based end-user computing strategy and financial model for a major Australian retailer, avoiding a forecast $60M infrastructure refresh • Leading 15+ M&A, due diligence, and synergy initiatives where technology strategy, operating model optimisation, and commercial outcomes supported value creation • Assessing a $20M internal software investment for an ASX-listed organisation, recommending a more effective $4M commercial solution I’m energised by roles combining strategic thinking, commercial judgement, stakeholder influence, and execution leadership, particularly where technology, operating models, product direction, and investment decisions shape long-term outcomes. I hold a Bachelor of Commerce, am a Chartered Accountant, and recently completed a Master of Applied Finance at Macquarie Business School, where I received the Academic Excellence Award. Outside work, I’m usually spending time with family, mountain biking, or surfing.
