Chris Walsh

As the CTO of DevOps1, Chris work with senior executives to understand where they are currently on their DevOps journey. The cost optimisation processes and DevOps best practices enable organisations to reduce unnecessary spending and unlock IT budgets for real innovation.

With over 15 years of experience as a CIO, CTO and technical consultant, Chris specialises in helping information technology teams to gain greater control over infrastructure management and OPEX/CAPEX budgets while improving the service and processes they provide to their business. In enhancing our clients’ technology vision, Chris aims to enable and create digital transformations that translate to real-world business value, not just technology innovation.

Chris has recruited and developed high-performing teams throughout his career and understands firsthand how important it is to find and retain the right talent. He is proud of the people-focused culture at DevOps1, which has enabled us to build a driven team of professionals who can deliver future-focused solutions.

Chris has a breadth of IT and technology experience garnered from his 14 years with construction giant John Holland, along with recent consulting projects with Toyota Motor Corporation.

During Chris’ tenure at John Holland, he was responsible for the multi-national organisation’s complete digital transformation, modernising the infrastructure and building products and solutions for each business unit.
Chris brings that expertise to apply across multiple customer projects at DevOps1, supporting customers with their digital transformations and automating processes and toolsets to give time back in their day to focus on adding value to the business.

Having developed high-performing teams throughout his career, Chris is excited to enable training and career opportunities for DevOps1’s people across multiple innovative projects and industries.
