Triple Finalist: Innovation, Leadership & Emerging Talent (WIICTA)

We are proud to announce that three of our team members, Demelza Green, Bay McGovern, and Weasley Au, have been named finalists in the ARN Women in ICT Awards (WIICTA) 2024.

This triple nomination is significant because it spans the entire career lifecycle: from Executive Innovation to Rising Star to Graduate Excellence. For our clients, this serves as independent validation of the talent density within our 100% onshore teams, proving that we foster excellence at every level of our organisation.

A Culture of Excellence at Every Level

These nominations highlight the depth of capability within Patient Zero, validating our belief that great software comes from great teams.

Demelza Green – Innovation (Executive Level)

Co-CEO Demelza Green’s nomination for Innovation recognises her strategic work in redefining the consultancy model. It validates her product-led approach to leadership, ensuring that we don't just deliver services, but innovate on how delivery is done for Australian enterprises.

Bay McGovern – Shining Star (Mid-Career Impact)

Bay McGovern has been recognised as a Shining Star, a category celebrating emerging leaders who are making a rapid impact. Bay’s nomination underscores the strength of our operational and delivery culture, proving that our rising leaders are empowered to drive meaningful change in client outcomes.

Weasley Au – Graduate (The Next Generation)

Weasley Au’s selection as a Graduate finalist is a testament to our internal mentorship and capability model. It proves that our junior engineers aren't just "resources", they are trained, mentored, and developed into world-class designers and engineers from day one. This is the same capability uplift methodology we bring to our clients' internal teams.

Talent Density

Being nominated across Graduate, Mid-Level, and Executive categories proves we have high-calibre talent at every layer of the stack - not just a few senior "heroes."

Mentorship Culture

The Graduate nomination specifically validates our ability to grow technical talent - a key component of the Capability Uplift we offer to clients.
