About the Panellists
Simon
Foster, Vice President and Director, ABSIA
Founder and CEO, Squirrel Street
As
a technology entrepreneur with experience across Europe, Asia and North America, Simon has garnered more than two decades experience
working for early stage and high growth technology startups, mid-size enterprises and multi-nationals.
Working across a number of key roles over the years has allowed Simon to develop a significant understanding of the technology landscape, including specialist knowledge of data security, scanning and secure document storage and the workings of the online/cloud-sphere.
With a keen interest and involvement in the Sydney technology startup community, Simon has also found value in sharing his knowledge
through mentoring new technology entrepreneurs via the Founders Institute and PushStart accelerator, and acting as an angel investor. In
addition, through the nature of Squirrel Street's service, it has required Simon to build valuable working partnerships (and integrations)
with other technology providers in the business management space such as MYOB, Xero, Intuit, Reckon, Saasu and Sage.
Rick
Harvey, Founder and CEO, Layer Security
ABSIA Representative on Enhanced Security Working Group
Rick Harvey (FACS, FIEAust, Founder and CEO Layer
Security) tries hard to keep a low profile. But, he tends to get dragged into things because of his deep technical knowledge in security,
privacy and large-scale distributed system. As well as his long career experience in running international R&D labs, growing start-up
companies and developing bleeding-edge software products for the global market. With some arm twisting, he ventures out in the public as a
presenter, lecturer, judge, panellist, mentor, advisor and Board member.
