About
A career spent translating complex technology into executive decisions.
Shaun Price is an executive technology advisor with more than four decades of experience across operational technology, enterprise IT, cybersecurity, AI and enterprise architecture. He has led and architected major programs in banking, utilities, transport and government, including core banking modernisation, large-scale cyber uplift and OT/IT convergence.
His work emphasises clarity, pattern recognition and practical execution paths for complex, multi-dimensional problems. He has built and led enterprise architecture, security architecture and emerging-technology practices, and is sought out by boards, executives and program leaders who need an independent, trusted partner to navigate AI, cyber risk and emerging technologies while maintaining operational and regulatory confidence.
Shaun is the creator of Metagentity — a concept and methodology for designing organisations in which human creativity, ethical oversight and autonomous AI agents operate as a single living system.
Executive capabilities
Where Shaun is engaged.
Engagements are framed at the executive layer — strategy, governance, investment direction and risk decisions — drawing on deep technical foundations rather than substituting for them. Each capability below sits at the intersection of business outcomes and technology execution.
Strategic Technology Leadership
Whole-of-enterprise strategy that aligns technology, risk and investment, and survives contact with delivery reality.
Transformation & Program Governance
Architecture and governance oversight for multi-year, multi-hundred-million-dollar programs in banking, utilities, transport and government.
M&A Technology & Cyber Due Diligence
Independent diligence, integration architecture and synergy modelling for acquirers, investors and investment committees.
AI Strategy & Responsible AI Governance
Roadmaps, operating models and governance frameworks that allow boards and executives to adopt AI and agentic systems with confidence.
Practice Building & Talent Leadership
Has built and led enterprise architecture, security architecture and emerging-technology practices, mentoring senior architects and advisors along the way.
Practices
Two complementary advisory practices.
Engagements are delivered through two practices that address different but related dimensions of the same challenge: how complex organisations adopt AI, manage cyber risk and remain resilient as technology evolves.
Digital & Cyber Strategies
Executive advisory across enterprise architecture, AI strategy and governance, cybersecurity, OT/IT convergence, M&A technology due diligence and emerging technology. Engagements range from short strategic reviews through to multi-year transformation support.
