I am passionate about bringing back trust to the digital world. As is identified by the cyber experts that human knowledge is the main reason for successful cyber attacks. Therefore I am developing basic courses to educate the common people who are not very cyber security savvy.
On another front, I have started a cyber security business that has a patent pending technology to drastically reduce digital identity fraud. Any identity fraud on the Internet or online as is commonly known.
I am a Co-Founder, Director, NED, Chief Technology Officer and Enterprise Architect with over eighteen years of executive and board level experience across the public and commercial sectors with particular expertise in information technology, healthcare and defence industries.
In an executive capacity, I am a Co-Founder, Director and Chief Technology Officer with Phone Pass, where I am leading product development and contributing to strategic investment opportunities. I am also Fujitsu Australia’s Enterprise Architect, where I am providing expert technology services and advice to various federal agencies and internally, on the cloud, security and data analytics strategies. Before this, I was a Senior Consulting Architect with The Architecture Practice, where I led the development of strategic service-oriented architecture across the Department of Defence platforms.
I also have experience working with the Board and Executive Leadership Team of Entity Three and its client, where I led sales and marketing programs for a multinational company. I have a Master of Computer Science, am a Member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors having completed Foundations of Directorship course and have completed the Directors Pipeline program (selected through a rigorous process). Finally, I am NED and a board ready director looking for new board roles.
