Hugh Bradlow

  • 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).

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.
