Ms Denham has more than 20 years experience in the ICT industry in roles across both government and the private sector.
ACS national president Kumar Parakala said Ms Denham had been “an outstanding ICT ambassador,” particularly for women in the ICT sector.
“She has a passion for the industry, and her insight into the pressing issues affecting ICT such as careers, globalisation and professionalism is impressive,” Mr Parakala said.
“Kim is an energetic and talented ICT professional with experience working within a broad range of industry and stakeholder groups,” he said.
Ms Denham, who is the first female CEO of the society, said her focus would be on the growth of both the ACS and the broader technology industry.
“We can be extremely competitive on the world’s stage, but greater recognition and collaboration from the business community and the Government is what’s required to allow our sector to flourish,” she said.
Ms Denham has more than 20 years experience in ICT, including management roles with Ericsson Australia, West Australian Newspapers, Tourism Western Australia and CSBP Limited. She was a finalist in the 2006 Telstra Business Women’s Awards in WA and has worked on various boards, panels and steering committees, including the ACS WA Branch.
Ms Denham takes over from acting-CEO Sam Burrell, who stepped up from the role of general manager when Mr Furini left the organisation after eight years at the helm in the middle of last year. Mr Burrell remains in the role of general manager.
