VIC | C-Suite Roundtable with Orange Business: Cybersecurity challenges in a globalised world

Michael heads up Market Development and Strategic Partnerships for Orange Business in ANZ based in Melbourne. His main focus is connecting ecosystems of outcome focused capabilities to enable transformation for real business benefit by simultaneously reducing costs, taking advantage of new forms of technology, driving greater flexibility in all aspects of consumption, and employing powerful enabling technologies like Data, AI, Edge, Predictive.

The need to move to new business models must be pursued in a world in disruption. Services that are secure, predictive, automated and dynamic are the new ‘must have’ foundations that are in focus more than they have ever been as new competitors emerge.

With long established career at an executive and technical level covering technology strategy, relationship management, business and operational leadership, client advisory and consulting, and enterprise solution design for industrialised service delivery, Michael has helped customers and partners on the necessary case for change to realise next generation business models.
