Neil Glentworth is a specialist in large-scale data, digital and technology programs. He advises public- and private-sector organisations on complex initiatives where delivery risk, public scrutiny, and capital exposure are high. Organisations retain him to reduce technology, commercial and reputational risk on projects that carry material consequences.

His sector experience spans natural resources, mining, defence, telecommunications, public safety, cyber security, human services, risk and threat management, and emergency management. This breadth gives him a practical understanding of how digital and data systems operate across regulatory, operational and political environments. He works at the intersection of strategy, governance and execution.

Neil is direct in his counsel and prepared to challenge assumptions when required. He serves as Managing Partner of DunneMedforth, Founder and Chair of the Evinact Group, and Executive Chair of Redman Solutions. His work centres on improving productivity at the system level, enhancing decision quality, and strengthening economic performance through the disciplined use of data.

He translates complex technical issues into clear commercial and governance implications for boards and executive teams. His focus is on measurable outcomes, accountable data practices, and practical application of emerging technologies.

Neil is a former senior military leader with multiple commendations. He has led teams in high-risk environments delivering essential services under operational pressure. He also serves as a senior operational leader in the Queensland Fire Department, directing frontline response teams in demanding emergency conditions.

 

At a time when conversations around open data and enhanced transparency across all levels of government are geared towards enacting action and change, Neil’s expertise as an advocate for making the complex, simple is in high demand.
