Austrade has appointed Nick Woodruff as its new chief information officer after the role was vacated by Nils van Boxsel late last year.

Mr Woodruff has been at Austrade since 2011, most recently as its assistant general manager of digital transformation and information management.

However, he spent most of his time at Austrade as its ‘global manager of ICT service delivery’.

Mr van Boxsel left the position to take up a Canberra-based executive partner role with analyst firm Gartner.

He had been CIO at Austrade for almost seven years, and spent a further three years before that as its CTO.

His background also includes time at Microsoft Australia and services giant CSC.
