MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - June 24, 2024 - Technology consultancy to future-focussed companies, Restive, has today announced the appointment of Seb Amielh into the newly-created role of executive director.

The role is based in Restive's Sydney office where the consultancy has a growing client-base and an expanding team. Amielh will join the Restive leadership team and be responsible for client strategy and relationships, operations, new business, and people development. 

On Amielh's appointment, Restive founder and managing director Stuart Oliver commented: "I've known and worked with Seb for more than eight years, so I'm thrilled he's joining us. Seb is highly passionate about delivering digital transformation for companies in highly competitive environments, and having worked with him previously, I know firsthand that he's a great fit with our people and our clients.

"Our team has grown significantly over the past four years and there's more to come as we continue to expand our base in Sydney. We have an established presence in Melbourne where we launched the business in 2018, but I'm excited that Seb has joined us to help more Sydney clients make giant leaps with their digital strategy and accelerate our growth in that market."

I'll be focussed on helping him and his team deliver best-in-class digital advisory, delivery, and team augmentation services to our clients. I'm looking forward to working with some of the most progressive digital companies in the country, helping them to optimise technology and their teams to achieve growth."
