Bernard Wright Email & Phone Number

With diverse multi-sector experience and international roles driving technology strategy and enablement, I bring proven success pioneering the use of technology to modernise legacy ICT environments, protect against cyber-threats, improve ICT service delivery and meet strategic goals.Drawing on an early career working in Silicon Valley, I bring experience working at the forefront of technology innovation, enabling me to deliver industry-leading ICT initiatives in Australia. Underpinned by a core strength in enterprise ICT infrastructure, I know how technologies are best deployed to enhance organisational effectiveness. This is demonstrated with my establishment of cybersecurity best practice through policy and governance changes and breaking new ground using behavioural analytics software to protect user data and mitigate risk. At the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, I partnered with Microsoft to pioneer the use of AI and machine learning in improving the accuracy of identifying species from biodiversity camera traps.Balancing a technical savvy with relationship strengths, I bring vendors and key stakeholders together to drive forward momentum on major IT projects. Critically, I bring a core strength breaking down complexity by clearly outlining risks and benefits to boards, executive leaders and non-IT audiences. In this way, I win support to implement innovative complex technology solutions that enable organisations to scale and grow.I network regularly and welcome new connections within the business community.
