Hi Folks, Whilst I tend to frown on public posts like this, friends in my network suggested this would be a good place to flaunt myself. I am currently looking for my next "thing" and looking for some help in getting networked to find the right role or some consultancy work.
Also being new to the group it's a good opportunity for you to get to know me :-). I came back to Australia from a successful period (and good job) in the US as I had a passion to push innovation success in Australia ( the lifestyle/culture is great for getting stuff done) and use the great skills I gained in the Valley to do this. I have always felt that the talent we have here in Australia is under-tapped and under-appreciated and is equal (or better) that what I have worked with in the Valley. I want to continue to grow Australia's internationally recognition in the tech space. The role I came back to has finally fizzled out as the company did a ill-informed acquisition (just as I joined) that used up a lot of their cash! Looking for full time and consulting opportunities. Looking for VP Engineering, CTO, COO or other senior leadership roles but with a strong tech focus. Happy for people to contact me via LinkedIn or my email address <firstname>@<lastname>.com (you will need to substitute - yes I have a cool domain name and there is no .au). Suggestions or referrals welcome - but please be respectful.
