Qantas CIO leaves

Friday, 09 Feb, 2006 0

Telstra announced today it had appointed Fiona Balfour as its chief information officer (CIO).

Balfour, who has spent the past 14 years at Australia’s largest airline and the last five as the company’s CIO, will take up her position in April, according to Telstra’s chief executive officer (CEO) Sol Trujillo.

According to Trujillo, Balfour will report to chief operations officer (COO) Greg Winn and be responsible for “leading Telstra’s centralised IT organisation and core IT programs as well as overseeing the company’s operations support system and business support system projects over the next 3-5 years”.

Balfour joined Qantas in 1992 as a senior IT executive and over the past five years has replaced a significant amount of legacy technology and negotiated several outsourcing partnerships — including one with Telstra worth AU$750 million — that now service Qantas’s data centre, global and domestic networks and desktop systems.
