The University of Auckland is New Zealand's world-ranked university.

A proven technical strategist and analyst with wide ranging experience across all aspects of digital technology. I am by nature a systems thinker with the ability to quickly understand and guide technology decisions to support business needs. I am a proven innovator with the ability to see beyond marketing or vendor hype. I am interested in ecosystems (organizational and otherwise), the impact of change introduced by technological advancement, and the strategies that need to be in place to allow successful change. I enjoy finding the data that supports the need for change and shows success (or failure) of change. I have guided the University through significant change by; providing pragmatic approaches to strategic planning; creating technology roadmaps connecting strategy to delivery; and enabling active architectural teams to demonstrate technical leadership. Areas I have covered include - Identity & Access Management - Infrastructure Services (Compute, Storage, Cloud, Hybrid, eResearch & High Performance Computing) - Networking Services (including research networks) - End User Computing - BI & Analytics - Business Solutions Delivery (including Integration services, product management and Agile) - Media Productions - Service Management & Performance - Enterprise Architecture, Solutions Architecture and Technology Architecture - Portfolio and Product Management - FinOps and Cost Management Industry Experience: Tertiary Education and Research, Telecommunications and Networking Capabilities & Experience: Digital & IT Strategy, Technology Roadmapping, Portfolio Management, Business Intelligence, Service Development, Enterprise Architecture, Solutions Architecture, Network Architecture, Database Management, Technical Architecture, Media Services, IT Integration, Identity Services, AI & Chatbots
