  • Actively mentors and cultivates future technical leaders, fostering a culture of continuous learning and excellence

  • Exceptional communicator and collaborator - able to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical audiences, with a belief that working across teams and organisations is more effective than operating as a solo unit
