Founder and CEO

After more than 20 years as a recognised leader in the commercial use of IT, 15 of which have been spent at the helm of The Simpl Group he founded in 1992, Bennett Medary doesn’t describe his work as creating IT solutions, but rather using IT to enhance people’s lives.

A passionate believer in the enabling potential of IT, Bennett says he and his team at Simpl work to ensure their customers are technology’s master not vice versa, and that the benefits delivered are tangible and ongoing.

Bennett Medary is recognised as a pioneer in New Zealand systems integration, and is recognised as one of the region’s pre-eminent thinkers on how we – as people, as businesses, and as a nation – can best take advantage of technology’s potential. Unafraid to question perceived truths or voice views alternative to established thinking, Bennett is a vocal proponent of using vision to drive positive, long-term solutions.

Before founding Simpl, Bennett spent 6 years with Unisys, the later 3 years he was contracted as a business partner, managing and resourcing the systems integration business of Unisys in Auckland.
