Research Director - Business of IT - Enterprise Architecture at Gartner
South Brisbane Area, Australia
Enterprise Architect with over 25 years of experience in the IT industry in a variety of roles ranging from AI research and software engineering to Enterprise Architecture and Interim IT Management. In my career I have worked for a large variety of organizations, from SMEs to multi-national corporations and Government.
My approach to my work is a holistic one: combining deep understanding of business strategy and processes with broad technical knowledge and a people-focused, personal involvement in successfully driving change.
Since I believe that change must be enabled by IT but owned by the business, I focus on Enterprise Architecture Facilitation: ensuring that all stakeholders become and stay involved; creating the best possible conditions for the change process to succeed; and encouraging business and IT to become a single team, working towards the best possible outcome.

Having worked across many industries, including all levels of Government, we bring together years of hands-on experience – national and international – and combine this with the depth of having been involved in all stages of the business transformation life-cycle – from boardroom discussions, to strategic planning, to implementation; from maintenance to migration, from legacy systems to state-of-the-art. We’ve been there, and done that; offering our wealth of knowledge, skills, and market experience to our valued clients. But we don’t sit on our laurels; we continually work on updating, improving and honing our collective skills for your best benefit.
