Donna Fitzgerald

Executive Director NimblePM

I'm passionate about helping organisations work with their engaged employees to get strategy executed.

During my decade at Gartner, through my research, I showed clients how to solve big "thorny" problems, such as executing strategy effectively, converting the IT PMO into an agile powerhouse, and setting up and running a strategic EPMO.

It was during my time at Gartner that I discovered TOP - awarded as  a Gartner Cool Vendor in 2011 - and its practical books and guides that provided explicit step-by-step instructions on how to achieve benefits.

Before Gartner, I ran an Agile software development organisation, was a product manager at two software companies, co-founded a program management consulting company and was a Silicon Valley-trained CFO.

I am a practitioner and teacher of Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Over my teaching career, I have taught at Harvard Business School, AGSM, Monash University, Melbourne Business School, Melbourne University, and the Wade Institute of Entrepreneurship.

After completing my PhD in mathematics, I founded a software business that was acquired by a large US insurance company. My other start-ups in Australia include ventures in biotechnology, agricultural services, and learning aids for children with low vision.

I am an active angel investor with investments in TOP and two other companies I mentored through the Melbourne Accelerator Program. I also serve as chairman of two life sciences start-ups and advisor to two others.

In my spare time, I train puppies for Seeing Eye Dogs Australia, preparing them for their full-time training program to assist clients with low or no vision.

Principal Ugovern

After many years in senior program roles, I was baffled by the same methodologies producing differing results from programs. Then, one day, at a seminar on governance, all became clear. Governance, or rather lack of it, determined the outcome of projects - my project management skills were secondary.

In 2006, I established a Special Interest group in the Australian Computer Society, which met for over a decade to expand the discipline of governance and management of IT.

My interests include Australian and international standards, where I am a current expert member of the IT-030-01 Standards Australia committee on ICT Governance and Management.

I have been with TOP since 2015 and look forward to helping businesses achieve their outcomes using TOP thinking and doing.
