TOP 50 CIOs IN AUSTRALIA
Noel Toal has been named in the Top 50 CIOs in Australia for the last two years . “ When I came into the organisation , we had lots of problems , and we outsourced ICT ,” he recalls , talking about his early days at DPV Health in late 2019 . “ With a new strategy , we built our own internal ICT team and we built that team in the middle of a pandemic . And we also built the data team . To see how hard those teams worked to deliver everything we had to respond to during the pandemic , I think it ’ s amazing .
“ When I won the first time , and then again the second time , I said I ’ m the person who stands up to get the award , but really it ’ s recognition of the effort of everyone in the ICT function , because I don ’ t deliver all those pieces individually . That is a collective effort .”
“ I think it vindicates the desire to have an internal team because it delivered better service and drove transformation . It ’ s nice on a personal level to see these teams that I ’ ve built get recognition for their hard work .” technologymagazine . com 161
