As an experienced technology executive, my expertise spans diverse sectors, including FMCG, financial services, healthcare, and the performing arts. I specialise in redefining the perception of technology from being solely an infrastructure support to becoming a front-line player directly influencing employee and customer interactions, thereby fueling organisational growth.

In today’s digital world, driving digital transformation and harnessing emerging technologies are essential to maintaining a competitive edge. I’ve applied these principles effectively across various industries, leading to substantial improvements in efficiency and customer experience.

Regardless of the varying technologies each sector employs, the fundamental business challenges often align. Leveraging this insight, I creatively transpose knowledge from one sector to another, offering significant value-add.

My career began in software development and application delivery, evolving into leadership roles with leading organisations such as Fosters Group, Superpartners, Vision Super, and The Australian Ballet.

My experience navigating complex, regulated industries has sharpened my expertise in governance, risk management, and investment. These skills have enabled me to effectively recalibrate organisational strategies and improve regulatory compliance and risk mitigation.

A robust advocate for mindfulness in the workplace, I am an active participant in the Mindful CIO community. My belief is rooted in the power of a mindfulness-driven team to enhance performance.

I’m passionate about continual learning and fostering connections across various industries. You can follow my journey and insights on Twitter.

If you’re in the area of technology, digital transformation, or mindful leadership, let’s connect on LinkedIn. We could arrange for a virtual coffee chat or, if you’re in Melbourne, Australia, meet in person. By connecting, we can forge new paths in our respective fields and broaden our professional networks.

Let’s drive meaningful conversations and make valuable connections. Looking forward to connecting with you both on LinkedIn and Twitter @david_j_cooper.
