Brendan Leonard

CTO, SecureCo

Sydney

In the mid 90’s I left university with a computer science degree. Eventually I went on to co-found a successful technology company which I ended up selling after growing it from 2 people to over 100 staff. At that point I entered the world of really big IT - execs, financials, sales, big enterprise customers and managing huge onshore and offshore teams. But after a few years of doing that I realised I hated it. Having been to "the dark side" I wanted to get creative again and back on the tools. I needed new skills and joined GA to learn them. After graduating I’m now the CTO of a fintech startup and am also an investor and advisor to a number of other startups. I want to share my story and let people know that anything is possible.
