Our Leadership Team

Gareth Burton joined Orbus as CEO in September 2022. He has extensive experience at international technology companies and SaaS businesses, previously holding the position of CEO at ThinkProject, alongside senior roles at Motorola and BT. Burton has held board level IT positions within the oil and gas, mining and construction sectors and has 10 years experience as a CIO, working for companies such as Laing O'Rourke and Baker Hughes.

Across his career, Burton has led large digital transformation programs and will use his expertise to lead Orbus Software into the next stage of its growth. Burton passionately believes there is a huge opportunity for companies to digitalise today, but need the visibility to truly transform.

I am privileged to have been on the Orbus journey since the beginning, from a tiny start-up with great ideas almost 20 years ago, to a global leader in the EA and digital transformation software space today – it has been a fantastic journey!

Over this time I have partnered with and learnt from hundreds of organizations, helping them to solve their business process, enterprise architecture and transformation challenges with Orbus’ innovative software solutions.

Today, based in New York, my role at Orbus is Chief Product Officer, and President of Orbus Software North America.

Outside of work I can be found with my family in Brooklyn or sailing on New York Harbor.

I have been with Orbus Software since its founding, driving the ongoing vision and delivery of Orbus Software’s product portfolio to ensure that its customers meet the increasing demands of enterprise-scale transformation.

Over the last 15+ years, I have pioneered Orbus’ unique development approach: leveraging the Microsoft technology stack to provide familiar, easy-to-use tools that deliver maximum ROI for customers.

Outside of work, I'm an avid cyclist and live in Hertfordshire with my wife and children.

I first joined Orbus Software in 2016, and have been working as Chief Customer Officer since early 2021.

My career to date has been a fantastic adventure. At various points you would have found me manning the grill station at a posh NYC restaurant, calling real estate agents across Australia to develop the sales capability at a budding telecom, unpicking tuition payments-gone-wrong for international students at a now billion-dollar start-up, consulting for Accenture, or, since 2016, building Orbus’ market-leading customer teams across Professional Services, Customer Success, Support and Customer Ops. 

I've learned a lot on my journey so far and am passionate about helping our customers and internal teams cut through “noise” to deliver real value, both for themselves and their organizations, while having plenty of fun along the way.

I joined the Orbus Software team in June 2021 as the Head of Legal and was later appointed as Company Secretary, driving the legal and corporate governance program for the Group.

Prior to joining Orbus Software, I was the Head of Commercial and Legal at AXELOS (formerly a joint venture between HM Cabinet Office and Capita plc) and held legal counsel and compliance roles with CBRE Group and Kaplan. I have completed transactions in the UK, Australia, Greece and Singapore across the roles.

I am an Australian qualified lawyer, having trained with HWL Ebsworth Lawyers in Sydney.

Outside of the office, I am an avid rugby fan and live in West London with my wife, daughter and two pets.

My professional career in the IT industry started more than 20 years ago as a young tech enthusiast with an academic background in mathematics and computer science.  I feel blessed for the journey I have travelled so far that let me experience both the fundamental crisis of IT in the late 90s and the following rebirth with the rise of cloud, mobile and AI technologies that led to the digital revolution we are seen all around us now.  During my sales, marketing and consulting roles at leading global companies - McKinsey, Microsoft, AWS and ServiceNow - I was exposed to the specific challenges and opportunities of different growth phases of each organization that gifted me with tremendous learning about our industry. Here at Orbus I feel fundamentally grateful to be given the opportunity to grow a best in class global marketing function with a fantastic team of great people. My private life is dedicated to my wonderful family - my wife and I are living in a small village outside of Munich together with our dog and our horses,  you will find us most of the time in the barn.

I work with Orbus to bring our People Agenda to life. With experience and passion for delivering strategic impact through people within high-growth digital and cybersecurity organizations, I play a vital part in delivering a people-centric agenda to all here at Orbus.

As a fast paced and constantly changing company, it is vital we ensure our people have a brilliant experience with us here at Orbus, where everyone has the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally. High engagement leads to high performance and success, for not just our people, but also our customers.

Based in deepest darkest Kent, me and my family of boys all love the beach and beautiful local countryside. I'm a self-proclaimed ‘sports addict’; you'll regularly find me on the hockey pitch or tennis court, as well cheering on my team from the side lines as a women’s hockey coach.

I have spent the past decade leading, developing and growing high performance SaaS teams. Having previously held SVP positions at Signavio, a unicorn startup with a $1.2Bn exit, and at SAP, a Fortune 500 firm and one of the largest companies in the world; I am really excited for the opportunities to lead the Orbus NA team, which is made up of exceptionally talented individuals. Orbus is a rocket ship that is well positioned to not only be a dominant player in the EA marketplace, but also as a critical platform to help companies manage their enterprise-wide digital transformations.

In my previous role as SVP Sales - North America, I was responsible for the functions of the GTM team and responsible for scaling out revenue operations for the US, Canada and LATAM.

Outside of work, I am an active member of Sacred Selections, a charitable organisation that financially supports families in their desire to adopt children, and am a part owner of a CrossFit gym in my hometown. My “why” in life is found in my faith and most of my non-work hours are spent with my wife and two young children.

Bryan joined Orbus as Chief Financial Officer in Jun-22. He has significant experience leading high performance finance teams at large technology companies, most recently as Interim FD at Dext, the accounting software provider.

Prior to that, Bryan held the position of Group Controller at Temenos, (the Swiss listed enterprise software provider for the FS sector) as well as CFO of their SaaS Division.

Bryan previously held multiple senior international finance roles at Misys after qualifying at Arthur Andersen. Bryan is bringing his considerable experience and expertise to professionalising both finance and operations at Orbus Software in order to support and enable the next stage of growth.

I have been in the software industry for over 20 years building high performing global sales teams immersed in the world of partners and ecosystems.

I have been part of start-ups such as Logic Works where IPO’d and Signavio, a high growth SaaS unicorn that was acquired by SAP. I worked at CA technologies, an enterprise software company where I was part of a leadership team that created a new global sales channel called the Customer Interaction Center. I was also part of the corporate development effort to spin off ERwin the product to erwin, Inc; a new start-up where I built a global sales and partner organisations

Outside of work, I enjoy any outdoor adventure and vacationing with my family, or sitting on the side lines cheering on my teenage boys as they play various sports.

I joined Orbus back in 2012, and it’s been a fantastic journey since then. I began life at Orbus in our London office before moving out to Australia in 2013 to grow the business across the APAC region. Having established our Sydney base, I now relish the opportunities for us to evolve in an ever-changing market, and work with our local teams in delivering digital transformation initiatives for our client base.

Outside of work, I’m an avid football fan and live in southern Sydney with my partner and young son.
