Head of IT & Digital

Candidate Description

A seasoned IT leader with over two decades of experience, this professional has steered technology strategies and large-scale transformations across retail, mining, manufacturing and government-linked organisations. Adept at aligning business objectives with robust digital roadmaps, they bring deep expertise in Microsoft Azure, Dynamics ERP platforms, ServiceNow and enterprise-wide cloud migrations, underpinned by formal ITIL and Security+ foundations.

Demonstrating strong technical acumen, they have delivered complex initiatives such as full data-centre migrations to Azure, Microsoft 365 roll-outs, Dynamics AX and GP upgrades, and the deployment of SOC/SIEM capabilities based on Microsoft Sentinel and Defender. Their hands-on leadership of cross-functional teams has produced measurable cost reductions, tighter cyber-security postures and streamlined application portfolios, all while embracing Agile and SDLC best practices.

Combining strategic vision with collaborative leadership, they excel at stakeholder engagement, vendor negotiation and governance through change-advisory boards and steering committees. Their track record of guiding geographically dispersed teams, mentoring talent and championing continuous improvement positions them as a high-value asset for organisations seeking transformative yet sustainable technology outcomes.
