Australian IT consultancy V2 Digital has appointed AWS and Microsoft channel veteran Dr. Peter Stanski as its first chief technology officer (CTO).

Based in Melbourne, Stanski will be responsible for leading the company’s digital transformation initiatives, including the development of technology solutions and digital models for customers.

According to V2 Digital, he will also help the company build intelligent platforms that deliver measurable impact for clients.

Stanski moves from his role at Microsoft where he has worked the past three years from 2020 to 2023 as general manager of customer success team ANZ and CTO ANZ. He previously worked for Microsoft for six years from 2002 to 2007.

He also worked for Amazon Web Services for eight years in multiple senior solutions architect roles, and as head of technology ANZ from 2018 to 2020.
