Telstra Purple promotes John Ieraci

Telstra’s professional and technical services division, Telstra Purple has promoted John Ieraci as its new senior leader, taking over from Oliver Camplin-Warner, who switched to group executive of Telstra Enterprise last month.

Ieraci’s appointment as the new head of Telstra Purple comes into effect immediately and will now report into Camplin-Warner. 

The new role will see Ieraci lead Telstra Purple covering projects from cloud transformations for industry, supported by recent Telstra acquisition Versent, to helping digitise health and other government services.

Ieraci will also be in charge of major enterprise network and infrastructure projects which range from the TasGRN (Tasmanian Government Radio Network) – built for the state's emergency services.

Speaking on Ieraci’s new position, Camplin-Warner said, “I have never met anyone so focused on real customer outcomes as John.”

“He’s someone that works in close partnership to solve problems through technology solutions and finds opportunities that make a real difference for our customers,” Camplin-Warner said.

“It’s this, combined with his focus on nurturing our people, the potential of future tech and building strong relationships with partners, that makes me so excited to see John step into this role,” Camplin-Warner said.

He added he believes “we can continue to build on the impact we have with Australia’s biggest industries and government partners.”

Ieraci said he “is passionate about the opportunities ahead for Telstra Purple and is thrilled by the opportunity to lead the business.”

“This role is particularly exciting to me as I’ve been involved with Telstra Purple since the beginning, playing a role in developing our technology services strategy and worked on our very first services acquisitions.

“This is an incredible opportunity to make a real difference for Australian industries and government, backed by a team of exceptional talent and partners,” Ieraci said.

Ieraci has been with Telstra for over 17 years and has held multiple roles across the communications industry.
