Daniel Keys has been instrumental in leading the delivery of innovative, sustainable and secure ICT to support better health outcomes for Australians.
The Health Department’s technology chief is leaving the Australian Public Service for a leadership role with Canberra IT services and artificial intelligence firm xAmplify.
xAmplify says Daniel Keys will join the company on 1 March 2022 as Head of Futures and Innovation.
In his current role as the Chief Information Officer (CIO) at Health, Mr Keys has been instrumental in leading the delivery of innovative, sustainable, and secure ICT to support better health outcomes for all Australians.
xAmplify CEO Ken Maxwell said Mr Keys’ lengthy experience with government would serve the company well.
“After a long and successful career in the Australian Public Service and with his deep experience in driving technology innovation across government, we are extremely fortunate to have Daniel join us,” Mr Maxwell said.
“Daniel is an inspiring leader and has a proven track record in delivering critical services and innovation for the Australian community. He brings the calibre of thinking and leadership we need as we expand our service offering in the market.”
Mr Keys will join xAmplify as the company solidifies its position in the market. Last December the company moved into new premises in Fyshwick after three years of expansion.
“The appointment of Daniel as Head of Futures and Innovation at xAmplify further adds to our tremendous growth over the past four years,” Mr Maxwell said.
