Asciano chief information officer Kelvin McGrath reportedly plans to leave the company in February 2017, looking to focus on his software start-up venture, MeetingQuality.
According to iTnews, McGrath decided to part ways with the logistics giant after it was bought for over $9 million by Qube, Brookfield and the Global Infrastructure Partners consortium in August, a deal which was strengthened by the IT system developed by McGrath’s IT team. The company is currently being divided up by its new owners.
McGrath stayed at Asciano after the purchase to complete a six-month transition period, which will end in February.
“Asciano is an important part of Australia’s infrastructure,” he told iTnews. “I felt a responsibility to the people I worked with and the company to hand over the technology in the best condition I can.”
McGrath will now dedicate his time to developing his software project, MeetingQuality, which tracks staff and stakeholder contribution in meetings.
