Afshin Mashayekhi

Chief Information Officer Melbourne · Victoria · Australia

Statement

I lead enterprise transformation where technology decisions carry real operational consequence — across healthcare, telecommunications and national infrastructure.

My work is the unglamorous kind. Cyber security uplift toward Essential 8 maturity. Enterprise cloud migration. Single sign-on. Real-time analytics that let an executive team see the business as it actually is, rather than as last month's report described it.1

Twice it has meant restructuring an organisation around its technology rather than the reverse — consolidating legacy systems, rebuilding a leadership team, and holding service continuity while the ground moved.2

My view on AI and data is an operator's, not an observer's. I have run the programmes, carried the availability targets, and put the investment cases in front of boards. That is a different vantage point from advising on them, and it is the one I write and speak from.
