REDCREW - Key Persons

The technology lead who designs RedCrew's cutting edge software solutions, James started writing code at age eight when he got his first computer, a Commodore 64: "There's a lot of artistry with what you can do with software." His first job was building it at Hewlett Packard and he has extensive experience in digital delivery and transformation in various industries. "I've always been an internal agent of change," says James. "The annoying guy who won't shut up about how to do things differently and better." The dad of four also codes at home in between writing for a global standards body and volunteering: "I get bored easily."

Mark always loved building stuff. As a kid, he competed in Lego contests and after a string of uni jobs-fitting wedding suits, making paint-was chief engineer on Melbourne's Vegemite factory and other major builds before becoming an international management consultant and program manager. At work, he's a pragmatic planner who has delivered complex large-scale projects in financial services, infrastructure and defence for three decades. At home, he's a slide guitarist in three bands who loves cooking and has been married to Lisa for a long time with three adult kids: "I've gotten something out of every bit of my career and life. I love problem solving." Hidden talent: Gregorian chants and cheesemaking.
