John Edmonds Email & Phone Number

I am a technology professional with almost 40 years’ experience in IT, Cybersecurity, Governance and Business, Project and Risk Management.As a passionate leader of people, I am focused on building strong and engaged teams through empathetic and encouraging coaching and mentoring.I can best be described as a multi-potentialite.▬ Speaker ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬I am in my element in front of an audience. Without seeking publicity or the limelight, as a professional speaker, MC, trainer, actor and church pastor, I have spent a lot of time "on stage" and in front of people.Give me a topic and I'll find a way to speak on it and make it entertaining!▬ Board Director ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬As a Non-Executive Director or Advisory Board Member, I add value to an organisation through my experience in diverse industries including education, manufacturing, business and financial services, legal, NFP, medical and elite level sport.Through many years in roles ranging from technical IT guru through to CIO and Board level management and governance, I enable Boards to become more technology receptive and confident to recognise and embrace disruptive technologies where appropriate.I have business and governance skills, which combined with an ability to understand complex IT concepts and translate them into common language for the non-technical person, puts me in a position to be able to help a Board feel strengthened and empowered about the technology decisions that increasingly need to be made.▬ Chief Information Officer ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬As the CEO of a medium sized organisation that has never had the benefit of a CIO, you’re probably used to banging your head against a brick wall whenever you think of the technology in your organisation.Your IT Manager is probably fantastic with the technical side of things. After all, he/she has helped your business get this far. But does he/she understand where you’re trying to take your organisation or how to help you get there?Wouldn’t it be great if there was somebody who saw things from your point of view?Someone who could research available technology and match it to your business requirements; who could give you appropriate and timely advice; who could look at your IT holistically; find the weak spots and lead teams to fix them; who can “talk the talk” at both business and technical levels.This is exactly who I am and what I do.After many years in varied technology, IT and management roles, I’m able to provide you with the knowledge and experience to harmonise your business, IT and technology needs.
