Transform Your Business withDigital Intelligence

"I have no hesitation in recommending Damien as a Top 25 Analytics Leader. I worked closely with Damien during my time as General Manager, Digital for Westpac Banking Corporation. Damien led the formation of our original Digital Analytics teams and went on to play a vital role in building our Human Resources Analytics capability. His energy and enthusiasm for using data to derive insights and drive business performance are infectious. He is comfortable covering the range of activities from strategy to execution. One of his key attributes has been building a strong team culture and using his unique style to influence others. He has demonstrated his ability to apply his skills across different domains, with his most recent venture in a highly successful Cafe start-up business."

"It's my pleasure to recommend Damien as an Analytics Leader. As one of Damien's senior hires in the Human Capital Analytics practice that he spearheaded in Westpac, I learnt a lot under Damien's leadership. With his combination of energy, process excellence and emotional intelligence, team management came naturally to him. Damien's unique organisational impact lie in his ability to gather apathetic stakeholders in a room and then use his passion to convince them on the benefits of analytics and data driven decision making. He believed in empowering his team to make decisions but was always by their side with a word of encouragement and actual support if needed."

"Damien has always been a maverick, always a boots and all type of individual, his acute need to understand 'why' mixed with tenacity and passion to resolve the problem/opportunity insight he draws from that, makes him a formidable force and influence in any team. Damien led a game changing program of work based on analytics insights across multiple streams that saw phenomenal success delivering material increases in both registration, depth and breadth of adoption usage and significantly changed the way our customers interacted with bank. The journey Damien led us on changed the view of our business in terms of becoming much more customer focused, data driven and enabled us to become much more responsive as a business unit."

"Damien's value-based approach changed the attitudes of the executive team, as they were able to see how real value could be drawn from data. A great data and analytics leader."

"Damien is a leader with vision who knows how to deliver under difficult conditions. He managed to motivate key senior stakeholders to embrace his vision for a richer analytics capability, turning a project with limited support into a 'source of truth' for the business."
