I am Director & Principal of De Stefano & Co | Defence and Security Experts. De Stefano & Co is a defence-focused management and security consultancy that assists businesses from across Australia and the globe in navigating the complex Australian defence industry environment and other highly regulated sectors. Defence market entry strategy and security for those operating in highly regulated or critical infrastructure sectors is what we do best. If you'd like to find out more visit www.destefanoandco.com.au or contact me at any time. I hold Bachelor level qualifications in engineering and management, and have also undertaken numerous postgraduate programs including a Master in Engineering (Military Systems Integration), the Defence Industry Leadership Program and an Executive Program at the prestigious Stanford Graduate School of Business. After four years in the role of General Manager at Smart Fabrication, which saw the company experience record year-on-year growth, become a key player nationally and win two prominent awards in 2014 and 2015, in November 2015 I decided it was time to take the plunge and established De Stefano & Co | Defence and Security Experts.
