Presenter Bruce Aylward:

Bruce Aylward is the founder and Chief Everything Officer of Psoda, a Wellington based software company that is building world class cloud portfolio, programme and project management software.

After graduating Cum Laude from the University of Pretoria with a BSc (Hons) in Computer Science Bruce started his career as a rocket scientist in the South African Space Program, where he was responsible for programming the rockets that launched satellites into low earth orbit.

When the space program was disbanded due to international pressure Bruce moved into the telecoms industry where he worked for multinationals and start-ups in a variety of roles and locations – from solutions architect to project and program manager in countries as diverse as Israel and the UK.

All of this experience culminated in Bruce founding Psoda in 2006 when he emigrated with his family from the UK to New Zealand; in his own words he realised “there had to be a better way”.
