Damian Coyne

CEO

Cevo Australia

For more than 20 years, I have dedicated my career to driving technology-led transformation and enabling organisations to achieve meaningful business outcomes. My journey has spanned executive leadership, business growth, and strategic consulting, where I have consistently delivered results by combining vision, innovation, and a deep commitment to developing people. I was blessed to meet ProGrad as a university graduate seeking pathways to my first career job, and landed a sole graduate Microsoft Graduate position with 400+ applicants. Currently serving as Vice President of Growth, CGI Technologies Australia after yet another successful acquisition of my previous firm, BJSS, I lead the growth and operations of a rapidly expanding technology consultancy specialising in cloud transformation, data and AI platforms, and digital modernisation. My role encompasses building client relationships, shaping go-to-market strategies, and guiding multi-disciplinary teams to deliver complex, high-impact solutions. Talent Development & Mentorship: I have mentored dozens of consultants, engineers, and leaders across my career, equipping them with the tools, frameworks, and confidence to succeed in highly competitive environments. At BJSS and now CGI, I’ve built a culture of continuous learning, establishing mentoring circles, structured development pathways, and opportunities for emerging leaders to take ownership of client engagements.

Strategic Growth Leadership: At BJSS and now CGI, I spearheaded the Australian market expansion, growing the business into new sectors such as healthcare, aged care, financial services, transport, logistics and retail. By fostering strong partnerships with clients like Macquarie Bank, ECH Aged Care, Booth Transport, and UnitingSA, ANZ Bank, Transurban, QLD Government and many more, I’ve positioned my businesses as trusted advisors and strategic partners, delivering innovation and measurable business value. My client relationships, where I've built value-based sales culture, continue to follow me throughout my career. Building High-Performing Teams: I believe that sustainable success comes from investing in people. Across my career, I’ve: - Created structured career frameworks that provide consultants with clear pathways to progress. - Introduced leadership programs that empower senior talent to manage high-value accounts and delivery portfolios. Prioritised diversity and inclusion, ensuring a breadth of perspectives drives innovation within teams. This people-first philosophy has not only accelerated the careers of countless individuals but also directly contributed to double-digit annual revenue growth and market-leading client retention rates.

Vision & Legacy: Over 20 years, I’ve cultivated a track record of transforming businesses, elevating careers, and creating high-impact ecosystems where technology, people, and purpose align, leading to acquisition values of a total of $1.7BN (Kloud, Contino, Versent and BJSS). My proudest achievements are not just measured in revenue or clients won but in the careers I’ve shaped, the teams I’ve empowered, and the industries we’ve helped modernise, standing on stage with my partners and colleagues and being recognised as the best technology transformation businesses in the country (AWS Partner of Year, Microsoft Partner of the Year, ARN Innovation Partner of the Year, Young Entrepreneur of the Year Nominee, AWS Greenfield Partner of the Year).
