Michael Fitzgerald

Michael is a technology leader at a large construction business, where he sits at the intersection of IT strategy, cyber security, AI, and digital transformation. With hands-on experience deploying AI tools across a complex, operationally-focused organisation, he brings a practitioner's perspective to the governance challenges that emerge when enterprise AI adoption moves faster than the controls designed to manage it.

Michael frequently speaks to business leaders about AI, cyber security, and the lessons to be learned from both. He is known for translating complex technology and security concepts into actionable insights for IT leaders, drawing on real-world lessons from the field rather than theory.

Michael's work spans cyber security governance, AI adoption strategy, business intelligence, and data governance. Based in Melbourne, he is a passionate advocate for building security into digital transformation from day one, not as an afterthought.
