Equifax ANZ CTO Paul Gladigau details how he leads the data giant’ s technology evolution with strategic partnerships and AI innovation

Paul Gladigau, Chief Technology Officer for Equifax Australia and New Zealand, is a technologist with decades of experience who has found himself at the helm of one of the region’ s most significant digital transformations.

Paul joined Equifax in 2023, bringing with him a career spanning nearly every technology role imaginable.
His journey in technology began in his teenage years when he bought his first computer as components and had to solder it together himself.“ These days my dishwasher is probably more intelligent than my first computer,” he quips.
After completing a broad computing science bachelor’ s degree that covered everything from programming to the social implications of automation, Paul’ s career evolved alongside the technology industry itself.
With experience ranging from programming to Olympic Games technology management to 16 years in investment banking systems, he arrived at Equifax seeking a new challenge in data and AI.
“ I was at Commonwealth Bank and thinking about my next role,” Paul explains.“ I saw data and AI a few years ago as the emerging next frontier.”
