Himanshu Desai is a founder and technology executive who builds digital health platforms that turn audit-driven compliance into embedded operational strength. As Founder & CEO of Carenza he launched Compli, Australia’s dedicated GRC platform for healthcare, after more than two decades leading cloud, platform and engineering transformations across aged care, disability, financial services and travel. He previously led 100+ engineers at Telstra Health, delivering integration platforms, cloud cost reductions and product consolidations that materially improved go-to-market and operational outcomes. His background blends hands-on architecture and program delivery with strategic product leadership—he’s delivered award-winning client solutions at Readify and merged legacy systems into scalable platforms at Telstra. A Senior Executive MBA graduate with GAICD credentials and recent AI product training from MIT xPRO, he combines governance-first thinking with emerging AI and cloud capabilities to modernise regulated health systems.
