Oliver Ciano, Director

Oliver joined Geodetica after a successful 20-year career with the Department of Defence, comprising a decade in engineering and a decade in program and project management. He has led several high profile and technical Defence projects as an Engineering Manager, Project Manager, and Program Manager.

With extensive experience working with diverse stakeholders – from technical teams to senior executives – Oliver is passionate about fostering positive relationships and charting a path that maximises value for all involved. He excels in project governance and risk management, earning a solid reputation for his insightful ability to identify and resolve potential issues before they arise.

When he’s not working, you’ll find Oliver watching and playing football, doing DIY projects around the house, and spending time with his family.

Why do something if we can’t maximise value in every possible way? That’s my focus as a program manager and leader. It’s exciting to lead diverse teams where everyone collaborates to achieve the best outcome, and while there are always challenges, when we’re agile and work together then our clients build capability, achieve their vision, and get the most out of their people who in turn get the most out of their roles.
