Sellars is a senior IT executive with over 25 years of experience leading in technology strategy, innovation and business transformation. He returns to NEC after previously holding senior roles within the company, including key contributions to NEC’s GovNext program.
Most recently, Sellars served as chief technology officer at Datacom, leading national strategic initiatives, digital solutions, and technology-led service evolution. With deep expertise in technology strategy, commercial management, architecture, and IT service innovation, Sellars is well-positioned to lead NEC’s technology direction into the future.
Keith Morrison, digital government SVPat NEC Australia, said Sellars’ appointment is a key step in NEC’s broader strategy to strengthen its technology strategy and innovation capabilities.
“The appointment of Mike Sellars as Vice President of our newly created chief technology officer underscores NEC’s commitment to our next era of technology leadership and innovation in Australia,” he said. “With his extensive expertise, industry knowledge, and proven track record, Mike will be instrumental in shaping NEC’s technology direction and delivering high-value, future-ready solutions for our client.”
