Pain Points

Zero senior technology leadership , CIO departed Jan 2025, GM Technology departed May 2025, leaving CISO as the only technology executive in seat
Running a $25M IT opex and multi-million dollar cloud, data and cyber transformation portfolio with no strategic delivery oversight
CISO Grae Meyer-Gleaves exposed and almost certainly stretched across responsibilities far beyond the security remit
CEO Michael Pennisi driving transformation urgency with no internal technology leadership capacity to deliver against it

Supporting WorkCover's technology agenda during the leadership transition

Hi Grae, Working as a CISO without a CIO or GM Technology in seat is a genuinely difficult position , you're carrying strategic delivery responsibilities that sit well beyond the security function. We work with government organisations exactly like WorkCover , bridging the gap between transformation ambition and delivery capability when internal capacity is stretched. I'd welcome a conversation about how we might support the team through this period. Kim Holliday Founder, Move FWD
