Transport for NSW Appoints Two Senior Data Leaders
Transport for NSW has appointed Marc Ashworth as chief data officer and Easwaren Sivagnanam as executive director of architecture, strategy and partnering, filling roles created by a restructure of its technology division last year, the agency confirmed via LinkedIn and iTnews. Both join from NBN Co—Ashworth after six-and-a-half years and Sivagnanam after three-and-a-half years—and will report to CTO Jason Tuendemann to lead enterprise data strategy and AI oversight.
