Ethan brings over 20 years of ‘hands on’ experience in productivity, business improvement and people and culture. His innovations in enhancing organisational performance have been recognised by organisations such as PwC, MIT, RMIT and Smart Company.

Originally an Aerospace Engineer, Ethan built AI systems for Defence applications starting in 2004—long before ChatGPT made AI mainstream. He has a strong analytical and data-focused foundation, is incredibly passionate about flow and psychology, and believes cognitive science and technology hold the key to building a better future.

As COO of Tesserent, Ethan turned around a cybersecurity firm from 5 months’ runway to Australia’s largest publicly listed player—growing revenue from $5M to $40M in 2 years before strategic acquisition by Thales.
