Digital Business Strategy

"""Garvan Callan was a senior colleague of mine leading the development and execution of a digital strategy for a > 200-year-old Bank emerging from the 2008-2013 GFC. He combined the passion and insight of a visionary strategic thinker with the ability to communicate in clear grounded language, linking concepts to commercial reality and ambition to executable plans.
