Head of Technology

Candidate Description

Marked by a proven record of modernising enterprise technology within family-owned environments, this technology leader brings over 17 years of experience aligning ERP, CRM and hybrid-cloud strategy to commercial objectives. Their tenure at a Food Manufacturer demonstrates deep expertise across Microsoft Dynamics platforms, Azure infrastructure and governance frameworks, translating complex technology investments into board-approved roadmaps that unlock growth and efficiency.

Adept at large-scale platform migration, they directed the shift from Dynamics NAV to an ERP ecosystem, integrated WMS, CRM and EDI, and orchestrated six seamless acquisition integrations without operational disruption. Leveraging hybrid delivery methodologies—Agile for customer-facing systems and Waterfall for core ERP—they govern AUD $1.2 – $3.4 million budgets, enforce SLAs with external partners, and consistently deliver 3 – 7 % under budget. Their technical repertoire spans Azure cloud hosting, Microsoft 365 Copilot enablement, SD-WAN, industrial automation with SCADA, and high-availability DR architecture.

Leadership extends beyond technology into mentorship, succession planning and executive engagement, reporting directly to CEOs and boards while crafting investment cases that gain swift approval. By coupling CISM, CRISC and CISA credentials with hands-on delivery, they balance risk management with rapid innovation, recently piloting tiered AI adoption using Microsoft 365 Copilot and other AI tools. This blend of strategic vision, operational discipline and people-centric leadership positions them as a transformative Head of Technology capable of steering organisations through accelerated digital growth.
