Brad Bond
General Manager
I am a Board Member, Business Founder and CTO with board-level experience with particular expertise in the Technology, Consultancy and Not-for-Profit sectors. At board level, what I do is accelerate business growth. I do that by leveraging my knowledge in software development, Lean-Startup methodology, Infrastructure as Code, Sustainable Transport and Energy, creating unique, cost-effective and scalable IT solutions, improving DevOps practice, building and motivating teams.
Board-level highlights include sitting on the Boards of Climate for Change and Invizage Technology. In an executive capacity, I have been a key player in the Australian tech industry for over two decades. I am currently the Head of Emerging Technologies at Mantel Group. Here I lead the Emerging Technologies and Innovation programs and drive Mantel’s approach to emerging technologies.
Previously, I was the General Manager of CMD Solutions, where I oversaw the development and launch of client-facing products and contributed to the team growth from 50 to 150 employees. Earlier, I co-founded and built multiple successful technology businesses: Versus Fitness Pty Ltd – the World-first Gamified gym system; WordOfMouth.com.au – Australia’s largest consumer review website; IntegrITi Pty Ltd – provider of enterprise IT software and Invizage Technology – Australia’s largest IT support business for Small to Medium Businesses acquired by Telstra. Finally, I hold a Graduate Diploma in Computer Science from Swinburne University.
