Adrian Thake
Business Consultant
With nearly 30 years of experience in the Information Technology industry and a passion for social responsibility and sustainable business practices, I am looking at applying this experience along with the core board knowledge acquired as a GAICD and currently completing my MBA studies.
Throughout my career, I have developed a unique insight into the challenges and opportunities that technology brings to organisations. In the era of digital disruption, I understand the critical balance between leveraging technology for growth while also managing risks and governance challenges, particularly in the areas of Cybersecurity and Regenerative AI. My extensive experience in leadership, strategic planning, and executive engagement aligns well with the requirements of the Non-Executive Director role.
I believe in connecting a company's values with actionable initiatives that positively impact people, the planet, and the community. This includes fostering a culture of growth, inclusivity, and safety within organisations, as well as preparing for environmental challenges and opportunities. I am dedicated to ensuring that the company's purpose and values align seamlessly with the broader community it supports.
My skills extend beyond technology to areas such as Change Management, Design Thinking, Stakeholder Management, and Sustainability. I have honed these skills through formal education, including the Australian Institute of Company Directors, and hands-on experience leading high-performing teams at HP. As the National Enterprise Sales Manager and National Channel Sales Manager, I successfully executed strategic sales plans, built C-level relationships, and guided teams to achieve business objectives.
Along with my resume, which provides additional details about my experience and qualifications. I am excited about the chance to bring my expertise in technology, leadership, and social responsibility to the board level. I am confident that my strategic mindset and commitment to fostering positive change will contribute to a company's mission and vision.
