Woodward joins as the cloud platform provider capitalises on its market-leading wholesale cloud and AI infrastructure innovation.
SYDNEY – 27 March 2025 — OrionVM®, a next-generation Cloud and AI company, today announced the addition of Anthony Woodward to its board. As Non-Executive Director and Chairman, Woodward will add further depth and support the existing leadership team. Woodward’s addition to the board will allow the company to focus on longer term strategic initiatives that will capitalise on OrionVM’s wholesale cloud heritage and innovation in AI infrastructure orchestration.
Woodward is a 30+ year veteran in the Australian technology services industry, who brings his experience of starting, building, and exiting industry-leading IT service providers to the team.
Woodward founded, grew and subsequently sold internet service provider ZipWorld, (sold to Pacific Internet, now part of Telstra) and Bulletproof Networks (taken public in 2014 and sold to AC3 in 2018). He recently served as CEO of global systems integrator and managed services provider Logicalis Australia. Additionally, Woodward brings expertise in corporate governance and shareholder engagement from five years serving as a non-executive director for APRA-regulated neobank in1Bank Limited. He has been a key member, organiser and chair of the Pearcey Foundation’s NSW chapter since 2010.
“Anthony’s background in technology leadership, governance, and public-company experience strengthens our already robust leadership team,” said Sheng Yeo, CEO at OrionVM. “He will be an invaluable addition as OrionVM enters a new phase of growth, development and innovation.”
“OrionVM has built a market leading, multi-award-winning platform and service model that has provided cornerstone infrastructure services to customers across Australia, the US and Canada for many years,” said Woodward. “Its capability in orchestrating and managing AI infrastructure, as recognised with its recent partnership with Blaize, also demonstrates the powerful innovation OrionVM can bring to this rapidly evolving phase of our industry.”
“The opportunity ahead for OrionVM is substantial, and I look forward to leaning in to help the team capitalise on both challenges and possibilities to drive customers’ cloud success, shareholder value and sustained growth,” Woodward said.
