Okay, so just for background, you come out of a national security background, for want of a better word.
You've worked in the public service at PM&C, DFAT, the Office of National Intelligence, also industry department.
But you've also been out in the private sector, most recently with AWS, and now you've got your own thing.
There's the long story and the short version, but I think the short version is that the sort of thing that's always really interested me in my career is working on things where there's a wicked problem to solve, where there's complexity and there's a real opportunity to solve that complexity and perhaps without a clear idea of how to get there.
I just love that sort of work and so you can sort of see that theme throughout my career.
I've also always really focused on roles where there is a real role for keeping humans at the center of what I'm doing, whether that's through counterterrorism and thinking about how can we prevent individuals from going down that pathway, through to the role that I have now in leading Coro and thinking about how we keep humans at the center of communication.
So Coro is an Australian New Zealand company building a new communications platform.
We have a team of experts across Australia and New Zealand building our product.
We are building communications platforms, so we have built native messaging.
And alongside it, you'll see your email and other communications collaboration tools all in one to sort of have a single pane of glass at your comm stack.
I think I got to a point in my public service career, which was a phenomenal experience.
And I was leading technology and national security in the Department of Industry, as you said.
And I got to a point where I realized I'm responsible for technology policy.
I'm helping government navigate how to engage with critical technology, how to navigate engaging with the sector.
