Senior Technology & Business Leader

Summary & Overview

The candidate is a highly accomplished Senior Technology & Business Leader with 15+ years across mining, utilities, government, and enterprise consulting. Recently serving as General Manager at a management and technology consultancy, they have led digital transformation programs, managed services, service delivery uplift, contract negotiations, and complex enterprise technology modernisation.

They were recently made redundant and are looking for new opportunities in 2026. They bring a rare combination of executive leadership, solution architecture, service delivery expertise, and deep operational understanding of high-availability, mission-critical environments. 

Their background includes major roles at a Perth consulting agency, the likes of NTT Data, Roy Hill, and a large Australian Bank, giving them extensive exposure to Tier 1 enterprise expectations, C-suite engagement, operational governance, and technology-driven business improvement.

They excel at turning ambiguity into structured, value-focused programs - whether building capability from scratch, rescuing underperforming service environments, modernising legacy systems, or shaping technology strategy aligned with organisational priorities.
