CTO

Melbourne Water has lost its chief technology officer following the departure of Geoff Purcell after six-and-a-half years.

The utility supervises the majority of water systems in Melbourne including the reservoirs, and the sewerage and drainage system that services the city.

Purcell announced his departure on LinkedIn.

“After six-and-a-half exciting years at Melbourne Water, it is time to hand over the reins and open a new chapter in my career,” he wrote.

Purcell added he is interested in pursuing a new position in a similar field.

As Melbourne Water's CTO, Purcell oversaw the company’s commercial and technology services including its strategy development and performance. 

A Melbourne Water spokesperson told  iTnews  a recruitment process is underway, with Melbourne Water’s technology business partner Karen Gee currently acting as CTO.
