Placeholder: Matt Ashley, GM Strategy & Enterprise Architecture, Ampol Group

We're meeting Thursday night - not Wednesday as usual - at Z Energy's offices, under the sails opposite TSB Arena

Tonight I've cajoled my boss Matt to speak while he is over from Sydney. This is a placeholder for now, there are so many different topics that are perfect for us that we are sifting through which is best. I hope to get him back again in future too.

Matt Ashley (LinkedIn) leads Strategy & Architecture across the entire enterprise of the multinational Ampol Group - the parent of Z Energy - where he helps shape how architecture and strategic thinking come together in a growing and complex business. With deep experience in enterprise architecture and strategic planning, Matt is passionate about building practices that put structure and clarity around change and delivery. He’s interested in how organisations design, scale and sustain their architecture capabilities — and he’s great at making big ideas feel practical and actionable.

Everyone is welcome - if you are in an IT/Digital role or considering one, you do architecture and you should come along and meet us. This talk will be particularly useful for folks considering an Architect role or wanting to know what Architects do.

This talk will be both in person and remote via Teams. I'll post links to the Teams session closer to the time.
