KISHORE JAYARAM
CHIEF TRANSFORMATION OFFICERTwenty-plus years across McKinsey, Cisco, Accenture and Thoughtworks; most recently shaping the AI transformation agenda at NCS Australia. His mandate is the one this division lives inside: turning twenty-five years of trusted managed services into a growth-oriented, AI-enabled services organisation — sovereign, differentiated, and built on the trust already earned.
In his words: “Few organisations reach a moment where they can fundamentally reshape their trajectory. Kinetic IT is in one such moment.”
MARCIO SETE
HEAD OF AI ENGINEERING & PLATFORMSNearly thirty years in product engineering with a founder-builder trail of 0→1 products; most recently eighteen months all-in on agentic engineering, building, researching and scaling it to enterprise capability. His mandate here is what the division is built on: the operating model, the platform, and the ontology.
In his words: “Done right, Kinetic IT’s twenty-five years of earned trust becomes frontier capability: the operations that run Australia measurably better, one workflow at a time; the engineers who build it growing fast; and sovereign AI IP that stays and compounds here.”
And around them, the rest of Kinetic IT: commercial, change management, strategy, the account teams who’ve held these relationships for years. A problem worth solving, real top cover, and a platform that compounds. You own your account’s outcome — empowered to run it your way, with the whole org pulling the same direction. The support is real; you’re never on your own.
What we commit to.
The model only works inside a culture that can hold it. Five commitments from leadership — and you can hold us to every one.
- A LEARNING ORG, OR NOTHING
The division exists to turn what you learn in the field into capability the next deployment inherits. Wins get generalised; mistakes get written down and shared — so no lesson is paid for twice.
- ADVENTUROUS CLAIMS, BACKED UP
We take on outcomes just past what the platform can do today, then build to close the gap — repeatedly. The ambition is deliberate; the discipline is backing it up. We make adventurous claims, and we deliver them.
- EMPOWERED, AND HELD TOGETHER
Four FDEs running at full speed will pull in different directions — that’s the cost of real autonomy. Holding one shared platform across four customer realities is leadership’s standing job, every week. No process automates it; it takes committed leadership time, and you’ll have it.
- PAIN TRANSLATED UP, NOT DOWN
A hard week at the account turns into product improvements and better top cover — not pressure pushed onto the crew. We hire for that translation, and we run the division on it, so this stays a place people want to be.
- THE WHOLE ORG, BEHIND YOU
Forward deployed isn’t a side project bolted onto a services company. Legal that runs alongside the build, sales that won’t sell what we can’t build, real top cover when you take the right risk for the customer. Stronger together — and that’s ours to enforce.
