Synechron consolidates Australian acquisitions, led by Scott Grigg

Synechron consolidates Australian acquisitions, led by Scott Grigg. 17 Mar 2026 2 mins Plans to hire more than 100 specialist roles in the first half of 2026. Synechron has united its local presence by bringing its acquisitions of Chamonix IT, Exposé and iGreenData under its own brand and installing a new local leadership team headed by Scott Grigg. The business' focus will be to specialise in secure, end-to-end digital transformation and platform solutions for customers across the financial services, government, defence, utility, education and healthcare industry. Synechron said the three businesses are an "integral part" of its efforts to expand its footprint within Australia. Backing this up is its plan to hire more than 100 specialist roles in the first half of 2026 to add to its team of over 1,500. The three businesses were acquired by Synechron in 2024 and joined its core digital transformation consulting business. In addition to Grigg, who was director of Chamonix IT from 2010 and Exposé from 2016 and is now Synechron's Australia country managing director, the local leadership team also consists of: * iGreenData managing director Max Sundaram as managing director of banking, financial services, and insurance; * Chamonix director and Exposé co-founder Kelly Drewett as managing director of enterprise; * Synechron Australia head of practices Tim Coates; and * Exposé co-founder Etienne Oosthuysen as Australia chief technology officer. "Globally, Synechron is synonymous with innovation, transformation and complex project delivery, with a rich heritage in highly regulated industries such as financial services," said Grigg. "Pairing our on-the-ground experience and expertise with Synechron's proprietary technology and accelerators drove significant growth, even as we worked to bring the business to operate as one organisation. As we move forward as one Synechron in the Australian market, we expect this growth to accelerate." Commenting on the local consolidation, Synechron co-founder and CEO Faisal Husain said Australia is one of the "most dynamic and competitive consulting markets in the world". "Clients expect both world-leading technology innovation and in-depth local experience," he said. "Thanks to the addition of the Chamonix IT, Exposé, and iGreenData teams, we are now perfectly placed to help Australian organisations not just embrace the future, but to lead from the front."
