About The Speaker
Wil McLellan has over 15 years of experience in the technology industry, and was one of the founders of computer games developers CerebralFix and Stickmen Studios, where he established international partnerships with world-class organisations including Nintendo, DreamWorks, the BBC, SONY, EA Games and Disney.
Following the Christchurch earthquakes, Wil's New Zealand and global relationships helped him create the Enterprise Precinct and Innovation Campus (EPIC) with co-founder Colin Andersen. The EPIC Sanctuary building was one of the first developments in the Christchurch Red Zone, and houses over 250 people across 20+ technology focused companies, offering shared services for business efficiency and promotes inter-company collaboration for opportunity development.
Wil is part of the leadership team for Assurity Consulting, and was recently awarded the prestigious Eisenhower Fellowship for his project to create "Innovation Bridges" between New Zealand and the rest of the world.
