Leadership, stewardship, and execution for this national, all-volunteer charity that offers a unique range of services and contributions to the Australian ICT community and sector. Started late last century, the Foundation offers the premier awards to recognise mid-career and lifetime achievements by remarkable individuals contributing to the innovation and entrepreneurship of Australian ICT. The Foundation is also the leader in coordinating and celebrating the computing heritage of Australia where individuals have been at the forefront of global computing development and business for more than a century. Thought leadership facilitated by the Pearcey Foundation, from its annual Oration to extended initiatives like Australia 3.0 and Australia 4.0 have made significant contributions to informing policy and strategy for government and businesses. The independent convening power of the Foundation is underpinned by the respect, propriety, and integrity of our people, purpose, and conduct.

Established as one of the most active start-up investors in the country and a significant influence in the start-up ecosystem Melbourne Angels is an effective, collaborative, collective of ethical individuals conducting themselves in a professional manner to invest in and grow high value start-ups. A key to sustainability and longevity for any organisation is to have stable succession of leadership. I am particularly excited and quietly satisfied to be ushering Melbourne Angels through this next phase of its growth and evolution.

I thoroughly enjoy my work on the Industry Advisory Group at the University. Since 2010 we have guided the birth of the Melbourne Accelerator Program (MAP), championed changes to the performance development framework for academics to better support industry engagements, driven the growth of the Endeavour Program (industry projects for students) and continued to actively engage in the realisation of the emergent vision for the University as an industry integrated, world leading research and commercialisation institution.

The Pearcey Foundation is a non-profit organisation founded in 1998 in memory of a great Australian ICT pioneer, Dr Trevor Pearcey. The foundation governs the Pearcey Entrepreneur Awards, Pearcey Medal and Australian ICT Hall of Fame. The Pearcey Entrepreneur Awards are presented each year to an outstanding individual(s) in each State and Territory who has "taken a risk and made a difference" in their local ICT industry. The Pearcey National Entrepreneur Award is a special recognition annual award to one of the State Pearcey winners for inspiring leadership, scale, impact, innovation and acclaim on the world stage. Each of the State and Territory Pearcey winners are outstanding entrepreneurs who have "taken a risk", "made a difference" and "is an inspiration". Collectively, they form a Hall of Fame that highlight the breadth and depth of Australian entrepreneurs making an impact both locally and globally. The Pearcey Hall of Fame recognises individuals who have made very significant lifetime contributions into one or more of Australian ICT research, industry, or professional development. It is a yearly award which includes the Pearcey Medalist and up to two other individuals. The Pearcey Medal is a prestigious annual individual award that recognises a distinguished lifetime achievement and contribution to the development and growth of the ICT industry in Australia.

The Angel Resource Institute (ARI) was founded in 2006 as part of the evolution of efforts to encourage and support Angel investing by leaders of Angel groups across the USA.

The ARI delivers services to Angel investors, Angel groups and early-stage ecosystems in the USA and internationally. These are focused on Education, Research and Mentoring.

This is a great example of how much fun it can be to 'pay it forward'. Starting in 1993, the iAwards is Australia's longest running and most broadly scoped innovation recognition program, promoting excellence in the Australian digital ecosystem. The iAwards unearth, recognise and reward excellence in Australian innovation that is making a difference and has the potential to create positive change for the community – whether that be at home, in the work place, or on a global scale. iAwards submissions are welcomed from innovators across the whole Australian economy, including individuals, groups, small businesses, large companies, governments, private organisations, non-profit and for-purpose enterprises and students at primary, secondary, vocational and tertiary levels.

The Pearcey Foundation is a non-profit organisation founded in 1998 in memory of a great Australian ICT pioneer, Dr Trevor Pearcey. The Foundation operates broadly across the Australian Information Communication Technologies (ICT) sector, from celebrating achievements through national and state awards, to being involved in debate and public policy on critical national issues such as productivity, the digital economy and national infrastructure. The Pearcey Foundation is an Incorporated Association established by industry personnel to recognise individuals and promote a stronger debate in Australia's Information Communication Technology (ICT) sector. The Pearcey Foundation is not an industry association, it is a "not for profit foundation" promoting an objective, independent debate of issues and opportunities. It does not engage in lobbying or consulting work, and "company" membership is not available thus ensuring it remains truly independent. The organisation is run entirely by volunteers through committees in each state and territory coordinated by a National Executive Committee.

We are a Melbourne-based group of Angel investors from metropolitan and rural Victoria with links to Angel groups across Australia, USA, Europe and Asia. Melbourne Angels was formed in Melbourne, Australia in early 2007 by a group of eight businessmen experienced as entrepreneurs and interested in pursuing Angel investment. Melbourne Angels is a constantly growing group of private investors who actively invest their own money and time in early-stage and growth-stage companies that have a credible expectation of providing high returns within five years. The group has a strong and experienced core of members that generate deal flow, are experienced in evaluation of business propositions and act as mentors for the other members and the entrepreneurs. The members are diverse in gender, age, cultural heritage, experience and expertise. We all share a common passion for getting new things going. Our collective qualifications are in more than two dozen disciplines and we all have experience as successful entrepreneurs and/or Angel investors. As the leading Angel investor group in Victoria, Melbourne Angels has invested in companies from most states of Australia as well as in companies from New Zealand and the USA. We believe in the value and power of syndication with the right co-investors and use our deep relationships with Angel groups all over the world to benefit our portfolio companies.

The Industry Advisory Group partners with the leadership the Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering in the Melbourne School of Engineering to bring an industry perspective to strategy, design and implementation of teaching, curriculum, research and innovation.

Our group comprises experienced CEO & senior executives of leading Australian and international corporations, successful entrepreneurs, globally ranked management consultants, leading advisers in corporate innovation, venture capitalists and senior commercial, research and technology specialists from the defence, government and industry sectors. We helped launch and support the Melbourne Accelerator Program (MAP) which was born in this department and rapidly grew to service the entire university and rise to being ranked the 7th best university accelerator in the world after just four years.
