A calling card for a CIO whose systems are tested by the wet season

Her name runs across the top of every page in widely spaced capitals, centred above Chief Information Officer and a centred row of page links. The home page then sets a single bordered card on the dark ground, lifted by a solid offset block in a lighter green. Her portrait fills the left panel with her title as a caption. On the right, under the label An introduction, the largest heading reads Systems that keep working when the highway floods. A short gold rule follows, then her one-line headline, her location, an Open to Board note and a Start a conversation link. On a phone the card stacks with the words above the portrait, so the argument still arrives first.

Below the card, a wide quotation marked My approach carries her philosophy: that a system working only when the coast is calm has not been tested for Ollanvale's customers. Beside it, a narrow list headed At the intersection of names her five practices, from critical-infrastructure risk reporting and the boundary between corporate and operational technology to field systems beyond mobile coverage, cyclone and flood recovery, and contract invoicing and outsourcing. The Expertise page turns each practice into a numbered essay, including where the operations division, not Imogen, owns the station control systems.

Three figures follow: forty-six microgrids and isolated power systems, A$410 million of contracted supply revenue and 380 field staff on the offline job application. Under the heading Work worth discussing, her cases appear as numbered panels that open in place. The titles carry the trade-offs: moving recovery out of the storm that would close head office, delaying the technicians' application until it worked for three days offline, and bringing invoicing support back in-house at a higher annual cost. Each panel keeps what went badly, such as a first recovery test that took five hours and forty minutes against a four-hour objective. Her thesis, proof points, a Formation column, a colleague's quotation and a contact panel close the page.

Cypress sets cream text on a deep rainforest green, with slightly lighter green panels for the card and the career entries and a pale gold accent for rules, numbers, dates and links. The effect is outdoor and steady, fitting a leader whose evidence comes from remote depots as much as from committee rooms. Headings use DM Serif Display, a high-contrast serif that gives her headline and case titles some gravity. Body text, labels and navigation use Manrope, a clean geometric sans-serif that keeps long passages about recovery objectives, satellite synchronisation and contract terms easy to follow. When printed, the page switches to black text on white so a search consultant's copy stays legible.

The Profile page, headed From billing code to the far side of coverage, sets her portrait beside a biography that begins with a one-cent rounding error on 4,800 council notices and ends with three colleagues' perspectives: an operations executive, a not-for-profit committee chair and her former managing director. The Career page opens on a cream panel with the heading Six appointments between the bill and the field crew, then gives each role its own green card with dates, scope and outcomes. The Board Readiness page begins with a bordered two-column brief: her contribution beside a committee table and her capacity: twenty-four days a year and no current directorships. Her exposure, two judgement examples, first-year plan and conflicts follow in one reading column.

The Card works for leaders whose credibility rests on a few practical decisions rather than a long list of titles: heads of technology at water and port businesses, operational technology managers, IT leaders in mining services and regional health, and managed-service executives moving to the client side. It also suits first-time board candidates who want a composed personal introduction before the detail.
