Director

Michael Eng

I work with business leaders who know their organisation could achieve more with the right technology in place, but they've also lived through enough half-finished projects and broken promises to be skeptical of easy answers. The tension between potential and frustration is exactly where I focus my work.After spending years as an Engagement Manager at firms like EY and Capgemini, I saw how big consultancies approach transformation. They bring expertise and certainty, but they often come with layers, handoffs, and price tags that don't make sense for small to medium-sized organisations. So I built a different model: you work directly with me, from our first conversation through to delivery.I don't chase trends or recommend technology for its own sake. If it won't reduce friction, save meaningful time, or actually move the needle, it's not worth implementing.Throughout my career, I've led multi-million dollar IT transformations, designed strategies and operating models that stick, and built teams that deliver consistently.At Calibre Consulting, I lead consulting and recruitment - helping clients hit their strategic goals while building teams capable of sustaining those results long after I've stepped back.If you want someone who tells you what you actually need, not just what's trendy, we'll probably work well together.

Principal Consultant

John Phillips

I work with executives who need technology leadership they can trust-someone who's been in their shoes and knows how to translate complex IT challenges into clear, actionable outcomes.With over 30 years across Australia and the UK, I've sat on both sides of the table.As CTO, CIO, COO, and GM of IT at organisations like Wesfarmers Insurance, RAC Insurance, Austal Ships, and ES2, I led teams through real transformation-not just on paper, but with results that hit the bottom line.I've managed complex technology projects, shaped IT strategies that actually aligned with business goals, and delivered meaningful cost reductions.At Calibre Consulting, I now bring that executive experience into consulting engagements and support recruitment-helping clients get the right leadership and capabilities in place to move forward with confidence.

Common questions, and answers

Key details about working together. If something is unclear, book a free call and we can talk it through.

Why should we choose Calibre over a big consultancy?

+

We work with mid-market organisations, so our solutions are built for your size, not scaled down from enterprise playbooks. You'll get senior attention without the bloat.

Why do you provide recruitment?

+

Because the best digital strategy means nothing without the right people to execute it.We've seen organisations invest in technology initiatives only to struggle because they lack the internal capability or bandwidth to make changes stick.Recruitment is how we close that gap - ensuring clients don't just have a plan, but also the talent needed to deliver it.

Which industries do you work with?

+

We work with NDIS, Community Services, Councils, Government, small to medium enterprises and our Australian Communities.

What's your pricing model?

+

We always strive for fixed price engagements. Transparent and proportionate.We won't surprise you with hidden fees or overengineered proposals designed to extend timelines. We solve the problem, not create more work.
