Jamie Baddeley (Ackama)
Social good technology company Ackama has appointed Jamie Baddeley as its general manager for New Zealand.
Ackama CEO Breccan McLeod-Lundy said Baddeley had a demonstrated history of commitment to innovation and socially-focused technology and would build on Ackama’s established record of delivering significant platform changes and enabling agencies to thrive in complex digital environments.
“Jamie is an experienced leader with an aligned focus on quality in delivery, technology capability, staff culture and a commitment to social impact,” Breccan McLeod-Lundy said.
Baddeley has over 30 years experience in the telecommunications, internet, information technology and energy sectors. Formerly managing director of Axos Systems, he has also held technology leadership roles such as president of InternetNZ, trustee of the NZ Network Operators Group and president of the ISP Association of NZ.
In July this year Baddeley was made a fellow of InternetNZ in recognition of his 15 years of service. During his tenure as president from 2014 until 2021, Baddeley oversaw InternetNZ’s response to the Christchurch terrorist attack, a significant increase in community funding initiatives as well as an advancement of organisational, cultural, technical and policy objectives.
“Over the last decade or more Ackama has demonstrated the strength of its convictions by consistently using technology for good purposes,” he said. “I’m so happy to join Ackama at this time to help with our shared ambitions of continuing to do that, but at a much greater scale and impact.”
Ackama is a specialist in cloud platforms, open-source software and end-user design.
Until it bought Melbourne-based companies Squareweave and Plot Digital in 2018, the firm was known as Rabid Technologies. In 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic struck, Ackama merged with Wellington-based Midas Infomedia in a non-cash transaction.
Ackama has worked on technology projects such as the NZX’s emissions trading scheme and with organisations including Australia’s Alcohol and Drug Foundation, New Zealand Sign Language Dictionary, Yarra Valley Water and Victoria’s Public Sector Commission.
