Mike Walls has joined as cloud transformation associate director with a focus on helping customers adapt and modernise to shape their future success by leveraging cloud and digital technology and modern ways of working.

"I'm excited to bring my experience to the table and use it to deliver business value and meaningful changes through new ways of working, and cloud and digital technology," Walls says.

"Datacom is obviously a powerhouse of IT services, but it's the renewed purpose to make a difference by turning the imaginable into reality and the company's willingness to adapt that really energises me.

"We are firmly in the 4th industrial revolution: the age of digital. It's an era enabled by the cloud, providing ubiquitous access to digital technologies that are transforming how we live and work.

"The ability to harness Datacom's investment and capabilities in the likes of public cloud, digital engineering, application development, and transformational services really underpins our purpose and is what will help enable our customers to thrive and shape their future."

Walls previously worked for Datacom at the beginning of his career, getting his start in technology providing desktop and server support, before becoming national operations team leader in 2001.
