I’m a digital growth executive and entrepreneur and have developed and launched > 170 new digital products for corporates and helped > 90 new startup businesses grow and/or scale. My experience spans strategy, digital product management / development, innovation, corporate development and executive leadership (P&L $100m+, team sizes >150 people) and ~$400m+ of additional value has been created through my work in corporate, government and startup environments. I’ve launched and run my own businesses and have also invested in a number of successful high growth tech. startups across Fintech, Data and Digital on behalf of prominent Venture Capital and Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) firms as well as through my own entities. In the past few years, I have been heavily involved in both Open Banking (Consumer Data Right in Australia) and in Data sharing within Financial Services more broadly. This has had me work with some of the largest global and domestic banks and insurers on data sharing projects as well as both advocating for and working with the emerging field of Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) that allow data collaborations to be undertaken safely, securely and in a fully privacy preserving manner. I'm also an advisor to government departments of 3 separate countries on the topics of Fintech, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and the commercialisation of "deep-tech”. For example, as part of the work we have done with the CSIRO entrepreneurship program and other publicly funded research groups in Australia, 60+ new high-growth companies have been created alone.
