I’m Russell—a technology leader who still gets a genuine kick out of building things. I started as a developer and, 25 years later, I’ve worked my way through consulting, project delivery, operations and senior leadership without losing that builder mindset.
Today I lead Procurement Solutions at ReadyTech, looking after the people, products, customers and commercial performance behind a growing SaaS business. I’m equally at home talking strategy with an executive team or getting hands-on with a prototype, because the best outcomes happen when the business and the technology stay connected.
I’ve learned that great technology only matters when people can use it, customers value it and the business can grow around it. My job is to keep those things moving in the same direction.
I do my best work when there’s a knotty business problem, a capable team and a chance to make the technology genuinely useful.
Building products and operating models that hold up for complex customers, long-term partnerships and real growth.
Taking AI beyond the hype: experimenting quickly, learning what works and turning the good ideas into trusted product capabilities.
Creating technology for high-stakes environments where clarity, security and customer outcomes are never optional.
25 years of building enterprise software, leading teams and helping good technology become something customers and businesses can rely on.
Information Technology, C++, Relational Database, Project Management.
I lead ReadyTech’s Procurement Solutions business across strategy, product, technology, delivery, customer outcomes and commercial performance. The work is about making SaaS procurement and contract-management technology simpler and more useful for government and complex organisations—including practical AI capabilities such as Ask Procurement.
I led operations across implementation, customer support, consulting and technology delivery—working closely with product and technology teams to evolve the SaaS platform, improve customer outcomes and build the capability needed to scale.
I led operations across Open Windows’ procurement software portfolio and its specialist identity and access management consulting practice. That meant bringing together development, implementation, support, consulting and project-delivery teams for major Australian organisations across mining, banking and insurance.
This is where the builder mindset began: software development, support, solution design, consulting, implementation, training and project management. I worked directly with government and enterprise customers to turn complex requirements into useful products and successful delivery outcomes.
