Chief Technology Officer
Telstra
Hugh Bradlow is Chief Technology Officer of Telstra which means that he gets to evaluate all the cool new technologies coming out in the ICT space. Basically, his job description is to see if he can break new things and he succeeds quite a lot (unfortunately not always intentionally). He is a technology “tragic” in that not only is technology his profession but also his hobby. His night time job is providing technology support and tuition to his 3 children and his teacher-psychologist wife who treats all technology failures – including user error and finger trouble on her part - as his personal responsibility.

As the Chief Technology Officer and head of innovation for Telstra I spend a lot of mental energy on thinking about what makes for successful innovation and what drives this. For me innovation can be broken down to three factors; opportunity, talent and investment.

By 2020, it can be expected that most of the world’s population will have not just a mobile phone, but a Smartphone connected to a mobile broadband network. These devices will have unprecedented context awareness and ability to communicate, as well as radically different user interface technology to what we currently are used to.
