Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolMike Walton is an engineering leader and operator with 25+ years in technology and 13 years in senior delivery and management roles, currently heading engineering at aXcelerate from Greater Brisbane. He has repeatedly transformed product and service businesses into modern SaaS operators—driving pricing simplification, automated updates, fintech integrations and multi-million dollar contract negotiations that materially improved EBITDA and customer revenue. Mike blends hands-on infrastructure and cloud migration experience (early AWS adopter in higher education) with people-first leadership, having scaled teams across product, support and professional services. He is comfortable switching between strategy, P&L ownership and technical execution, and has a track record of reducing churn while launching marketplaces and self-service customer portals. An entrepreneurial start at 16 and multiple consultancy stints give him a pragmatic, customer-centric lens that informs both tactical delivery and long-term platform decisions.
