Appointment: Helping a Partner Embedded Business Strengthen Its Voice in the IBM Z Ecosystem

Appointment: Helping a Partner‑Embedded Business Strengthen Its Voice in the IBM Z Ecosystem

I’m pleased to share that I’ve been invited to join Canadian‑based BankNet Technologies Inc. as Fractional Chief Technology Advisor, supporting the company’s work across the IBM Z ecosystem.

Given my background working within the IBM ecosystem and partner‑led enterprise delivery, this is a particularly interesting opportunity.

BankNet, an independent software vendor (ISV), operates a specialist, partner‑embedded model, with its technology deployed globally through tier‑1 partners into highly regulated environments. In this fractional advisory role, I’ll be supporting BankNet’s external technical representation across the IBM partner ecosystem, with a primary focus on IBM Z, long‑term architectural alignment, and constructive advocacy.

I’m looking forward to supporting the team at BankNet Technologies Inc. and contributing to thoughtful, ecosystem‑focused engagement across the wider IBM Z community.
