I am currently Australian Laureate Fellow a.k.a ARC Laureate Professor and Professor of Software Engineering in the Faculty of IT, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.Previously I was the Senior Deputy Dean for the Faculty of IT at Monash University in 2018 and 2019. Prior to that I was Pro Vice-Chancellor ICT Innovation and Translation and Alfred Deakin Professor at Deakin University. Previously to that, I was Professor of Software Engineering and Dean of the School of Software and Electrical Engineering at Swinburne University of Technology. Before that I was Deputy Dean of the Faculty of ICT, Head of Computer Science and Software Engineering, and Director of the SUCCESS research centre. Before coming to Swinburne I was Head of Department for Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, and prior to that, Director of Software Engineering, University of Auckland.I have been PVC, Dean, Deputy Dean, Head of School, Head of Department or Deputy Head of Department for seventeen of the past eighteen years. I have (mostly) enjoyed the challenges that come with these roles, particularly the opportunities to develop and mentor staff, provide leadership both within my discipline and to the Faculty and University more widely, and to provide effective management and administration. I have often been told I bring a collegial, effective, efficient and decisive approach to leadership that is well-respected and appreciated both by the people I have led and my bosses.I am a Fellow of Automated Software Engineering, a Fellow of Engineers Australia, CPEng and EngExec, a Senior Member IEEE and Member ACM.My personal homepage is at https://sites.google.com/site/johncgrundy/Home
