David Sia

Chief Executive Officer, Techware

David leads Techware from its Clayton office in Melbourne's south-east, where the business has supported Australian organisations for more than 25 years. He sets the direction of the company and stays close to the client relationships that depend on it.

Techware is family-owned, and David's writing reflects that: plain explanations of what is actually happening in IT and security, aimed at the people who have to make decisions about it rather than at other engineers.
