Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndy Kelk is an experienced technology leader and founder with over two decades of delivering and scaling platform engineering for major consumer and enterprise businesses. He specialises in helping companies transition from their "first technical chapter"—architecting high-throughput platforms, leading migrations, and scaling teams from dozens to hundreds while preserving velocity. As a Fractional CTO and advisor he bridges technical and organisational challenges for growth-stage firms and private equity investors, offering short-term engagements that avoid the cost of a full-time CTO. His track record includes driving multi-hundred-million-dollar impact at Wesfarmers, building global SaaS marketplaces at Marketplacer, and stabilising mission-critical digital platforms at News Corp and REA Group. Based in Melbourne, he combines hands-on architecture experience with pragmatic leadership and the benefit of having learned many expensive lessons earlier in his career.
