Daniel Haughey posted thisAfter 30+ years since my first role in the tech industry and a wonderful 15+ years at REA I’ve decided to take a break! I’m really proud of what we’ve achieved at REA over this time as we’ve grown from scale-up to industry leader. And I’m deeply thankful to everyone who I worked with there, what amazing people. Thank you! From here I’m planning on spending time with family, travel and maybe even get into some of those life projects that have been on the back burner. And I’m trying hard to avoid going too deep down the AI rabbit hole. Will reconnect when I’m back from my travels.

At the start of each financial year, our whole company gathers to celebrate our achievements, share insights and reflections, and establish clear priorities for the upcoming year.

Daniel Haughey liked thisDaniel Haughey liked thisAfter just shy of 22 fantastic years, my last day at Thoughtworks (for now!) was April 24. I joined in London in 2004, when we were around 400–500 people. I didn’t expect to still be there two years later—let alone nearly 22 years later —having helped scale it into a $1bn+ global business with 10,000+ Thoughtworkers across 20+ countries. It’s been an incredible journey. One defined by extraordinary people, ambitious clients, and the chance to help shape how modern technology organizations are built and scaled. Thoughtworks has also been a big part of my life outside of work—taking my family and me around the world to places we never would have imagined. We’ll always be grateful for that. As I thought about how to capture it all, I kept coming back to the idea that a picture says more than words. The photos below do a better job than I can. Enjoy the journey! To everyone I had the privilege to work with—whether or not I managed to capture you in my photos! - thank you. I’m incredibly grateful. I leave also with real excitement for what comes next for Thoughtworks. The industry is being reshaped, and there’s no team I’d back more to lead through that change. So what’s next for me? First, a short break to recharge. A summer of family, friends, reading, learning and travel. I can't tell you how excited I am after over 3 decades of non-stop work. Then, I’ll be spending time with a select group of leadership teams, boards, and investors—working on growth, go-to-market transformation, and the shift to AI-led platforms and operating models. Exciting times! As always, super happy to connect and compare notes. Chris

Daniel Haughey liked thisDaniel Haughey liked thisLast week I had the joy of joining Open Universities Australia as Chief Customer & Technology Officer. The opportunity to step into this new role — at an organisation so deeply connected to its purpose, and alongside such a wonderful group of people — is incredibly exciting. OUA, thank you for welcoming me (back) so generously. A big thank you as well to Alinta Energy and all my former colleagues for the privilege I had of working with you over the past two years. I am very proud of what we achieved together. Wishing you all the best for the exciting journey ahead.

Daniel Haughey reacted on thisDaniel Haughey reacted on thisOver the past couple of years, many of you — across my team, former colleagues, clients, partners and even competitors — have walked alongside our family as our beautiful daughter Beatrix battled cancer. Some of you donned the pink unicorn t-shirts as part of the Team Bea Official Crew. Some of you supported our campaign through The Human Sheep Project. Many of you donated, sent messages, shared stories, checked in or simply held us in your thoughts. Every single gesture mattered. The support from this community — the professional network I am so fortunate to be part of — has been overwhelming in the most humbling way. Behind companies, job titles, brands and LinkedIn profiles are extraordinary human beings. Over these past years, you have shown us exactly that. Last week, our brave, bright, extraordinary little Bea passed away. There are no words for the hole she leaves in our lives. But there is profound gratitude for the people who helped carry us through her fight. If you would like to join us in celebrating and remembering our beautiful girl, we are hosting a service at 2:30pm on Thursday, 12 March 2026 in the Main Hall at the Hawthorn Arts Centre. All are welcome. From the bottom of my heart — thank you. For the courage. For the generosity. For the support.

Daniel Haughey liked thisDaniel Haughey liked thisThe March Engineering Manager Bootcamp in Valencia is underway! And today we had an epic guest, Kerri Rusnak, sharing her experience at Spotify / REA Group, and other great workplaces—especially when it comes to planning, agility, and running effective teams. Beyond joining the Mission, Vision & Values exercise for teams, Kerri shared a ton of wisdom on what good planning looks like, including: - balancing agile execution with mid-term roadmaps, - the importance of cross-team coordination for interdependent work, and - keeping a single source of truth for planning. Thanks so much, Kerri. Having you in the bootcamp was a delight, and the participants really benefited from your insights and experience. 🙌

Daniel Haughey liked thisDaniel Haughey liked thisTech Fest 2026 was our second year bringing Global Technology together at REA Group – and it’s starting to feel like a moment that really defines who we are as a tech community. What I love about Tech Fest is the mix of strategy, learning and play in one day. We had: - strategy conversations and leadership sessions that gave us a clear view of where we’re heading - speakers and workshops where people could go deep into AI, engineering and product - spaces designed purely for joy and nostalgia – from a retro console room with Commodore 64s, Atari and arcades, to an Apple museum full of colourful iMacs you could walk around and appreciate as objects of design. On the design side, we treated the office like a festival site again. We wrapped the stairs to turn that first step into the building into a “you’re in Tech Fest mode now” moment, and used installations, signage and small details to guide people through different experiences, not just different rooms. Because this was our second Tech Fest, it also felt like an exercise in iteration. We kept what worked from last year (thanks Dario from 2025 for all the systems in place), brought back favourites like the stairs wrap and Apple museum in a new form, and deliberately simplified or dropped things that didn’t add enough value. That let the team run a big, complex event with a lot more calm behind the scenes, and focus on the feeling we wanted people to leave with. I’m grateful to have the creative freedom to keep evolving the "tech is love" concept – this time with fun characters that made the design journey even more engaging. Thanks Steve for your support and Taylor for helping with the execution again. Personally, I’m proud of the team that made all of this real. From all the organisation and logistics with Kate, Lauren, Jemma, Sarah W, Sarah F, Victoria to the people hauling hardware Luke, setting up consoles, wrapping vinyl Khuong , Jane Galit and Feli making sure hundreds of tiny details came together on the day. All the Simulator work Adrian, Trent, Katy. All the digital signage and comms Belinda and Kellie. Our amazing MC Max. The beautiful shots from Daniel. Our very own AI gurus Myles and Jake. Thanks to all the Cyber City team that helped to replicate the event there as well. Tech Fest is becoming a highlight of our year for a reason. It’s where we step out of our usual teams, reconnect in person and re-imagine how we work together. Thank you all. GRACIASSS!!! :)

Daniel Haughey liked thisDaniel Haughey liked thisMeet Trustport co-founders Blake Williams and Cat Munro. Blake and Cat identified a need to enhance the protection and management of property funds for real estate businesses and the buyers and sellers they serve and set out to create Trustport. Together they bring over 30 years’ experience in bringing customer-led digital transformation and streamlined technology solutions to the property and financial sectors. Blake, CEO is a former co-founder of Realtair, a leading real estate transaction platform that was acquired by REA Group. Cat, CTO is an Executive who has led the delivery of complex and secure technology solutions for leading property technology and financial services brands in the UK, NZ and Australia. Trustport is setting the standard for how money is managed and moved in property. Backed by trusted Australian real estate brands and financial institutions to fast-track security and efficiencies in property that’s accessible to all. Cat and Blake commented that “Through our time working closely with real estate customers, we’ve received consistent feedback that Trust Accounting is a major pain point for real estate businesses, with costly administrative, financial management and compliance burden. We believe that bank grade security and effortless property funds management should be standard and available for everyone who transacts in property. The timing of this enablement is critical as real estate businesses are about to face increasing regulatory burden with the upcoming change to anti-money laundering legislation.” www.trustport.com
