As we continue our industry leader showcases there are only a small handful (possibly less) of those that have played truly transformational roles within government. It is a rare breed, and Ian Opperman is one of those.

From deep telco afficionado to startup CEO, and research leader to Chief Data Scientist, Ian has been part of Australia's landscape when it comes to data-driven transformation within government. With his career harnessing a healthy dose of private sector experience (where he now calls home), his impact has been immeasurable.
