Tall Emu's Management Team

Mike Nash, CEO

Mike is the CEO and founding member of Tall Emu. Although Mike has a technical background, previously working as a programmer for business automation projects in the corporate world, Mike's real passion is designing business systems and business analysis. This blend of business and technical skills means that Mike is able to act as a great intermediary between business users and technical teams.

Mike designed the systems which automated and integrated credit processing systems for Vodafone Australia. This resulted in a reduction of processing time for new applicants from hours, to a "speed connect" system where customers were activated in 15 minutes or less over the telephone - and resulted in a large reduction in staff required for the credit department.

At Nomad Telecommunications, Mike was a key designer of a collections system which automated debt recovery based on flexible business rules including automated reminders, prioritisation, and interacting with both a predictive dialler and IVR system. This project resulted in an enormous increase in collections based on the manual system, and a massive reduction in bad debt.

Mike is quick to understand business processes and able to apply his considerable experience to help achieve the results the client is looking for, in the right timeframe and at the right cost. He has helped many Australian businesses with software development and personally project managed multiple software developments for Australian business.

Mike has experience in a variety of industries including security, telecommunications, call centers, finance, credit and wine.
