Brendan Homann appointed as Chief Operating Officer

Patient Zero announced the promotion of Brendan Homann to Chief Operating Officer to support the team-based software development services company’s next stage of expansion. 

This appointment follows a period of rapid growth for Patient Zero, including the launch of a Managed Services offering to support deployed applications, hiring a Sydney based development team to service local clients and a number of internal promotions.

Paul Briggs, CEO of Patient Zero said that Brendan’s capabilities as a product owner and consultant meant that he was the perfect fit to sustainably scale Patient Zero’s unique employee-owned Way of Working.

“Since we established the business around teams-as-a-service, we’ve delivered hundreds of full stack cloud native applications, enabling everything from patient engagement platforms to waste management solutions and insurance technology,” said Brendan Homann. 

“Through leveraging Site Reliability Engineering principles and automation, our whole-of-lifecycle managed services approach is able to proactively address 60 per cent of issues before they affect a customer, focusing on maintaining applications - not patching bugs as they appear.

Rapidly growing demand for Patient Zero’s team-based development approach and Managed Service offering has resulted in a number of internal promotions, including the appointment of Demelza Green as the firm’s first Principal Experience Manager and the promotion of Josh McCure and Emilien Perico as Developer Custodians.
