“I have always had a love for submarines. Knowing that I would have the ability to work with one of Australia’s submarine cable networks meant Vocus was a clear winner for me. The wide array of networking aspects involved in the role, paired with Vocus’ reputation for being a leading specialist in fibre and network solutions secured my decision."

“My role is truly diverse and exciting. In the OCC I am accountable for the effective operation and maintenance of Vocus’ networks and network facilities. This involves critical monitoring of key customers as well as our international IP traffic, cloud and fibre optic transmission, and helping maintain our 4,600km submarine cable system which links Australia to Singapore.”
