Hi, I’m Stuart and I’m the founder of Restive, a full-service technology consultancy that partners with future-focussed companies to innovate their technology and deliver growth. I launched Restive in 2018 when I saw an opportunity to build a collective of expert technologists who deliver smart but simple strategies that enable our clients to
optimise their technology and increase their revenue.
We launched as a digital strategy consultancy, but our rapid growth has matured our business and expanded our offering to include data and AI, tech modernisation and cloud, cybersecurity, and customer research and experience. Our clients now rely on us for advisory, delivery and team augmentation across these services.
I’m very proud that Restive today is a nimble and dynamic ecosystem of more than 400 expert technology consultants who deliver unrivalled outcomes for our clients. Our client relationships are built on trust and integrity as we support them with senior, expert advisors who solve their often complicated technology problems with scalable, innovative solutions.
Our team has delivered 600% revenue growth for a major Australian homewares brand and a leap to $1.5 billion in additional online sales for a leading Australian supermarket chain, as just two examples of the results we have delivered for clients.
Prior to Restive, I was head of retail with ThoughtWorks where I launched and grew their retail offering with clients including Target, Kmart and REA Group. Prior to that, I held senior positions with Wise-NET and Oakton and also launched and grew my own HR cloud-based software company, Dynamic Intelligence.
I live in Melbourne and my passions outside work are the outdoors, health and nutrition and fitness.
