More than two decades ago, Maria Padisetti co-founded Digital Armour from her kitchen table with one bold idea: that technology should serve people, not overwhelm them.

Today, she leads one of Australia’s most dynamic technology companies – a next-generation TSP that proves care, innovation, and commercial excellence can co-exist.

Her leadership is defined by clarity, compassion, and courage, the belief that technology, when led with heart and purpose, can create prosperity for people, businesses, and communities.

We recognise and acknowledge that the land and waters where the /NEW Conference takes place are the traditional country of the Awabakal and Worimi peoples. We celebrate and respect the cultures, histories and rights of the Awabakal and Worimi peoples.
