About
I have spent over 20 years working in IT leadership roles across Australia, the United Kingdom, and Sweden, inside businesses at very different stages, in very different markets, with very different approaches to technology. Some of it was enterprise-scale. Most of it was the kind of business where IT decisions have real, immediate consequences and there is not a large team to absorb the fallout when they go wrong.
What that gave me, more than anything, is perspective. I have seen what good IT leadership looks like when it is done properly, and I have seen what happens without it. The problems are rarely technical. They are almost always about direction, accountability, and the gap between what the business needs and what the IT setup is actually delivering.
I started 4Bit because that gap is everywhere in growing businesses, and it is a solvable problem. Not by adding headcount. By adding the right leadership.
"Most businesses don't have an IT problem. They have a leadership gap that shows up as an IT problem."
Working in the UK gave me exposure to large, complex organisations with mature IT governance frameworks. The scale was different from anything I had seen in Australia, but the underlying challenge was the same: keeping technology aligned with business strategy when both are moving quickly. What I took from that time was a rigour around planning, vendor management, and accountability that most smaller businesses never get access to.
Sweden was a different education. One of the most digitally advanced markets in the world, with an approach to technology that is genuinely forward-thinking. Less about managing what you have, more about building toward where you are going. Working there sharpened how I think about IT roadmapping and long-term strategy, particularly for businesses going through rapid change.
Coming back to Brisbane, I found a market full of smart, ambitious businesses running IT largely by instinct. Good people, capable MSPs, reasonable tools, but rarely anyone asking the harder questions about whether any of it was pointed in the right direction. That is the work I find most useful, and it is what 4Bit is built around.
