ADAM BENNETT
Advisor / CEO / CIO / Digital Transformation / Author / Adjunct Professor
Adam is a proven transformation leader, with significant experience working at the intersection of digital disruption and technological change over several decades as a CEO, CIO, digital executive and management consultant.
This has created a deep and unique insight to all elements of transformation, including understanding and making sense of what is happening and changing in the world (disruption), developing a planned and purposeful response to this change (strategy), and taking action to change parts of the business that address the disruption (implementation).
Adam has successfully adapted his transformation approach to multiple industry and organisational contexts to deliver measurable results.
He has a track record of delivery, as evidenced by his appointment as the first post-privatisation CEO for NSW Land Registry Services in March 2018, where he led the subsequent five year transformation of the former government department into a successful and highly profitable private sector company.
He’s also led many critical strategy, performance and technology transformation programs for NAB and BNZ over 13 years, and prior to that, consulted to a range of blue chip clients over a 13 year period.
As a corporate and operations strategy specialist with PwC and then IBM and CapGemini, Adam consulted to C-suite executives across a diverse range of industries including retail, fast moving consumer goods, construction and service industries, aviation and pharmaceuticals.
Adam is the author of GREAT CHANGE: The way to get big Strategy done published by Wiley (August 2023).
He is an Adjunct Professor (Industry) at the University of Technology, Sydney where he is a guest speaker on business transformation, and he delivered the occasional address for the 2022 Business School graduation. He is also a graduate of Harvard Business School (Advanced Management Program).
He has completed the Australian Institute of Company Directors Course, and the NZ Institute of Directors Course.
