The chief digital officer of the city of Melbourne has announced her move to aged care provider St. Vincent’s Health Australia. In a social media post, Michelle Fitzgerald, who is also the city council’s customer and digital general manager, said she is filling in the same position of CDO at the hospital group. Fitzgerald has held her post at the council for the past six years. She had led its smart city office in her first four years and eventually took on the technology and digital innovation director role from 2019. She had previously worked as a partner at accounting firm PwC for over a decade. The digital chief said she is looking forward to work with her new colleagues in “[scaling] up digital and data solutions to benefit our patients, residents, staff and partners across our hospitals and aged care facilities”.
