Slater to point way for digital agency
Gavin Slater from the National Australia Bank (NAB) has been named as the new Chief Executive of the Digital Transformation Agency.
Mr Slater was previously a member of the Group Executive Team at NAB in charge of a widespread digital transformation agenda across large, customer service businesses.
Assistant Minister for Cities and Digital Transformation, Angus Taylor said Mr Slater had led initiatives that overhauled NAB’s technology environment and delivered significantly improved customer experience.
“Gavin has a proven track record in driving transformational change to respond to digital disruption," Mr Taylor said.
“He well understands the challenges faced by Government Agencies as they seek to transform their own services to better meet the needs of users.”
Mr Taylor said Mr Slater’s experience would be invaluable in making whole-of-Government improvements in digital delivery, in a planned review of all major IT projects across Government, as well as driving significant changes in the way the Government procured ICT services.
Mr Slater said making services simpler, faster and easier to use had been at the core of his leadership over many years.
“I look forward to bringing my skills, experience and passion to the public sector as it looks to improve services to benefit all Australians," Mr Slater said.
He will take up his position with the Agency on 1 May, taking over from interim Chief Executive, Nerida O’Loughlin.
