About

Enterprise capability.
Boutique delivery.

Two decades of watching good advice get buried under bad economics. Nuvanta is the response. A firm sized to the outcome, not the pipeline.

Why we exist

We built Nuvanta because the choice in Australia has always been binary: a large firm with the capability but the wrong economics, or a small shop with the relationships but the wrong muscle. Neither is what departments actually need.

Around ten senior practitioners across Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth, embedded in the work rather than selling it from a deck. Everyone at Nuvanta has led programmes inside a Big Four or global consultancy, and chose a smaller setting on purpose.

Our team has led transformation at global consultancies, run delivery for System Integrators across EMEA, and sat inside Australian government departments on the receiving end of those engagements. The pattern was the same in every geography: decks optimised for renewals, senior names on the proposal who never reappeared, and a quiet handover to juniors once the ink dried.

Nuvanta is the firm we wished we could hire. No pyramid economics. No 80-slide decks. No juniors. We're accountable for outcomes, and gone when the work is done.

The team

Built small on purpose. Every hand on the work.

Rutger Jan (RJ) Bakelaar
Managing Director
Strategy & Transformation · Brought in when a transformation is stuck between strategy and delivery. Tier-1 advisory pedigree (KPMG, ArcBlue), SI leadership across EMEA, and hands-on work with Australian government.
Harish Malla
Director
AI Advisory & Digital · Helps public-sector and mid-size clients move past AI curiosity into governed, useful adoption. Translates between technical teams, executive sponsors, and procurement — so the pilot actually becomes a capability.
Jonathan Papageorgiou
Business Analyst
Research & Analysis · Does the digging that makes advice defensible. Shapes the evidence base behind strategy papers, business cases, and procurement recommendations — so recommendations survive the scrutiny of the board and the probity panel.
Simon Morrow
Business Analyst
Research, Analysis & Training · Bridges the gap between delivered system and adopted capability. Brings research, analysis, and hands-on training experience — so the new way of working actually sticks with the people who have to live it.
Alison Reichert
Senior Advisor
Governance, Benefits & Portfolio · Twenty years leading complex transformation in government. Builds the business cases, Cabinet submissions, and benefits frameworks that get programs funded and keep them honest after launch — with portfolio practices that have been Cabinet-endorsed.
Tim van Leuven
Senior Advisor
Procurement & ICT Sourcing · Specialises in ICT and professional-services procurement for government and complex enterprises. Defines procurement as solving a business problem — savings, efficiency, supplier relationships, social value — and leads stakeholders through the process from start to finish.
