Meet the Team
Jason McPherson
Chief Scientist
The guy the lecturers go to with stats problems. A member of the founding team of Kenexa Australia. Designed and developed their employee survey products as well as selling and supporting them to clients such as AMP, Fosters & ANZ. Our rocket scientist.
Rod Hamilton
Founder
Rod has delivered significant technology projects to tier 1 clients such as Fosters, Transurban and Telstra. Having worked in a variety of management and technology consulting roles ranging from project delivery leadership for major SOA implementations, through to hands on architecture, design, development, and testing, Rod fits in nicely amongst the Culture Amp team. Rod is partial to playing the guitar and listening to music, as well as striving to improve himself.
Jon Williams
Founder
Before there was Culture Amp, Jon worked as a technologist and strategist for Credit Suisse, Barclays, and BskyB. As the principal architect of Murmur's platform and mobile strategy, Jon has seen first hand what does and doesn't work for varying businesses. Jon is a man of simple pleasures: good coffee, good food and good wine. Such indulgence has led Jon to finding pleasure in running - ironically.
Doug English
Founder
Having developed and led key architecture projects for major financial and consulting organisations such as NAB, ANZ and EDS, Doug has developed specialist expertise in Domain Modelling. These skills extend to the building of all of Murmur's back-end models and database infrastructure. Outside of Culture Amp you might find Doug in a yoga studio, or out for a jog. He'll admit his biggest weakness is chocolate.
Didier Elzinga
Founder & CEO
Didier founded Culture Amp after 13 years in Hollywood visual effects company Rising Sun Pictures. He previously co-founded technical academy award winning Rising Sun Research and is non executive director at Tourism Australia, the Atlassian Foundation and Slingsby Theatre, as well as an advisor to several media & technology startups. After his kids and wife, Didier’s greatest pleasure is an espresso in a new city.
