about


strategic narrative & digital architecture

Technology doesn't just evolve; it disrupts. Throughout my career, I have occupied the intersection of fundamental research, industrial application, and national policy. I specialise in narrating vision and implementing the operational architecture required to outmanoeuvre complexity in the AI age.

My experience is intentionally ambidextrous. I have spent decades building world-leading digital research infrastructure, pioneering sovereign cloud and HPC environments, and designing the governance frameworks that allow sensitive data to become a strategic asset. From establishing Australia's first neoclouds to transforming institutional IT cultures at global scale, my work ensures that technology remains a catalyst for discovery, not a barrier to it.

I now lead Innate Innovation, a boutique advisory helping organizations navigate the high-stakes friction between capital efficiency, technical debt, and sovereign AI capability.
