W3IP Law attend YP Gold Coast with Danny Maher
Danny, who has been named Australian CEO of the Year and sits at the helm of a booming business that services more than 115,000 organisations worldwide, is a champion for the Gold Coast’s evolution into an IT hub.
Gold Coaster Danny Maher is at the forefront of one of the fastest growing business software companies in the world. Maher is the founder and CEO of Opmantek, a business providing commercial open source network management and IT audit software believes there is no better place than the Gold Coast to establish a tech economy.
“As soon as you have a business here, everyone wants to come visit you,” he says. “There are conference facilities, you can go play golf or have breakfast on the beach, and it’s easily reached from airports in Brisbane and Gold Coast.”
Maher says the public company’s success would not have been possible without support from the City of Gold Coast. “In 2011, the council was trying to attract IT businesses to move here to diversify the economy,” he says. “At the time it was the only council in Australia giving financial incentives to do that.”
Speaking to some of the city’s leading young business leaders and entrepreneurs, Danny shared his vision for the Gold Coast to give insights on how we can thrive and capitalise on digital disruption.
