With a visionary and collaborative approach, the CTO constructively challenges the Monash Group to embrace the change required to ensure it continues to deliver world-class teaching, learning, research and student experience outcomes.

As a priority, the new CTO will bring continued focus, vision and leadership to the Student Management System transformation program, which upon implementation will bring impactful and best-in-class outcomes to Monash and its students.
