Thirty years turning technology into a business advantage — leading teams, rebuilding strategy, and now teaching the next generation how to do the same.
Kevin Fleming is a Sydney-based technology executive with an IT degree and an MBA, and three decades of experience spanning telephony, networks, software development, cyber security, and enterprise leadership.
