Chad Gordon
Senior Manager – Infrastructure Service Operations

A forward thinker who believes in focus and dedication, who describes himself as a jack of all trades, master of some…….which expresses his belief in self-development and an aversion to mediocrity. This is the penchant that he has served to help him build an impressive career as a technology professional for the last 20 years.

Chad leads from the front and regards the perspectives of his team as critical to organizational decision making. He’s a democratic leader, results-driven and flexible enough to take the hard decisions for the benefit of the organisation when it matters.

“The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.” Vince Lombardi

Resolving business, client and personal issues with the use of technology gives him a deep sense of satisfaction and a feeling of fulfilment. Finding a balance is a mantra he lives by. As such he encourages professionals to ensure they develop soft and technical skills as the hack to succeed in the always-evolving industry.

A primary value Chad holds is that the quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves and that good teams hold themselves and each other accountable.
