From large government organisations to small business enterprises, Daniel is an IT professional with significant experience in the IT industry.

Daniel started as a cadet with AVC, a Managed Services Provider where he progressed to director and shareholder of the organization within six years. Following this, Daniel successfully completed his MBA whilst employed as the Strategy, Architecture and PMO Manager at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO). Daniel focused on Enterprise IT and ITSM and learned through this role how to navigate bureaucratic organisations professionally. His ability to achieve significant goals and undertake complex strategies was largely due to his perseverance and attitude in situations that required innovation and often reserve alongside an understanding of complex IT problems.

Daniel has been a board member for the Australian Government ICT Strategy & Athena SWAN Program (Women in STEM).
