About Us

Jorn Bettin has over 25 years of experience in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and Asia, with a focus on transdisciplinary collaboration in neurodiverse teams, and on economic ecosystem design and niche construction. Jorn loves building and working with high performance teams. He has pioneered the MODA + MODE methodology, and is the author of several books on Model Driven Engineering.

Jorn is passionate about capturing the knowledge flow of leading domain experts to co-create human scale organisations and systems which are understandable by future generations of humans and software tools.

Keith has spent the last 25 years working at the interface of research, standards, and commercial software. He is a pioneer of model-based generative software development approaches for large distributed systems. Keith has worked in many contexts, but has gained special insights into healthcare, architecture and construction, and telecommunications, using this approach to solve problems with a combination of human and machine communication.

Keith loves engaging in collaborative work with diverse teams, where his knowledge of computing from bits and bytes, up through computing languages, and domain specific visual formalisms, can help solve real world problems in many different industries.

Paul has more than 25 years of international experience in the UK, USA, Sweden and New Zealand. He has led the introduction of more human centred design to new product development, and has led teams through major organisational changes. Paul combines a strong telecommunications engineering background with extensive product management experience and a delivery track record in a range of industries, including IT, primary industries, and construction.

Paul is passionate about driving collaboration to deliver great outcomes, especially technology innovations that enable increased business value, operational improvements and excellent customer experience.

Xaver enjoys collaborating with domain experts across organisational silos on strategic technology issues, to deliver breakthrough system integration solutions. Xaver has over 30 years of experience in the financial and industrial automation sectors in Europe, and has architected critical components of several core banking systems and document management systems. He is an authority on the design of distributed systems and message oriented software architectures.

Xaver is passionate about developing a deep understanding of the nature of complex problems, and breaking problems down into simpler parts, enabling innovative, transparent and economical solutions.

Pete has over 30 years experience and research in creative collaboration and innovation. He is a futurist who has consulted in education, film and TV industries, media, digital design, telecommunications, and government. He is also an accomplished producer of high quality film and TV productions.

Pete is passionate about liberating creativity in organisations and individuals, and enabling the free flow of knowledge to achieve transformational outcomes. Creative collaboration and innovation in virtual worlds was the topic of his doctoral dissertation.

Sarah has lived in Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Australia and is now firmly rooted in New Zealand. For the last 15 years Sarah has been taking care of the office and finance administration needs of small teams both in New Zealand in Australia.

Sarah is optimistic that soon all neurodivergent cognitive lenses will be de-pathologised, and the relevant minority groups will take ownership of definitions and labels.

Andrew has designed and developed software-intensive products and services in Switzerland and New Zealand since 2004. His experience covers a range of sectors including healthcare, manufacturing, construction, industrial automation, logistics, finance, education, and startups, and he has been a key member of the S23M open source team from the very beginning.

Andrew is passionate about enabling people and organisations to reach their full potential, by designing and developing world class software solutions which empower people to collaborate and innovate in new ways.

Jack has spent more than 25 years evolving and applying comprehensive, innovative solutions to the complex problems associated with large scale software engineering endeavours, at multiple levels of scale. Jack has applied his skills in a wide variety of industries including telecommunications, aerospace, and biomedicine. His approach has always been to identify and tackle root causes of problems at their source whilst being a pragmatist around industrial constraints.

Jack continues to be fascinated with the enabling cultural factors which enable highly innovative cultures to form, flourish and be sustained. Jack is a passionate advocate for neurodiversity in the workplace.
