Devicie Appoints Shane Harding as Chief Executive Officer

A seasoned growth expert 

Shane has two decades of experience working in fast growing scale-up companies, investment funds and management consultancy. He’s a proven leader, having helped bring companies through the growth phase to achieve outstanding valuations and successful exits.  

Previously he was Chief Strategy Officer at Australian Life Tech, helping lead the business to a $71M acquisition by myDNA. Prior, Shane was Chief Product Officer at Oneflare, where he led product and marketing, growing the company into Australia’s fastest-growing and second-biggest service-based marketplace.  

Early in his career he was Product and Growth Lead at MYOB where he was an integral part of bringing MYOB Essentials to market, which unpinned a successful $2billion IPO and Head of Growth of one of Australia’s first early-stage investment funds, Future Capital.  

Over the last decade he has advised and mentored dozens of founders running high-growth companies, including through the global incubator Tech Stars, where he is All Star mentor. 

“I chose to work with Devicie because it’s a company that’s unique on so many levels, empowering IT professionals to solve infrastructure and security challenges whilst also improving productivity and employee experience,” says Shane. 

“Implementing and configuring the tools to deliver a laptop ready to go in 30 minutes instead of the standard two weeks is hard. Keeping that laptop, and an entire fleet of devices, consistently operating efficiently and securely is even harder. The cofounders of Devicie solved that problem, organisation by organisation, implementation by implementation, setting by setting, for 20 years before they productised what they’d learnt. 

“Data security impacts everyone. We are perfectly placed to solve a problem that effects almost every company globally. It’s an unbelievable opportunity. The number one growth fund globally backs us and our team because they see it too.”
