Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMalcolm Colman-Shearer is the founder and CEO of Optimi, a Wellington-based consultancy that helps nonprofits and mission-driven organisations stop losing time to systems that don't talk to each other. With over a decade of experience blending technology strategy, information management and hands-on development, he focuses on pragmatic integrations, low-code solutions and team enablement rather than off-the-shelf IT fixes. A long-term Enspiral member and founding Zebras Unite contributor, he combines cooperative, values-driven practice with technical problem solving to scale impact across social enterprises. His background ranges from corporate business analysis at ANZ to operations roles in mission-led startups, giving him a rare fluency in both governance and product delivery. Clients praise his ability to translate complex technical needs into straightforward, human-centred workflows that free teams to focus on mission. He quietly leverages low-code integrations and AI enablement to deliver disproportionate outcomes for resource-constrained organisations.
