David Thodey – Jobs NSW

On Thursday 13 July 2017, Jobs NSW announced the creation of the “Sydney Startup Hub”, a new, 17,000 sq m space dedicated to housing, and nurturing, much of Sydney’s startup community. Anchor tenants of Fishburners, Tankstream, Stone & Chalk and The Studio. Scheduled to open later in 2017. 

David Thodey is the Chairman of Jobs NSW and managed to squeeze in this special episode of the podcast straight after the announcement. David was CEO at Telstra from 2009 to 2015. Under his tenure Telstra’s market cap doubled and, according to Crikey, “not only restored its tattered reputation but improved it.”

He is currently Chair of CSIRO and JobsNSW, and has a wealth of experience as a technology industry executive.
