Enterprise capability.
Boutique delivery.

Why we exist

For two decades we watched good advice undone by the wrong business model. Nuvanta was founded in 2025 to be the third option.

The choice in Australia has been binary: a large firm with the capability but the wrong economics, or a small shop with the relationships but the wrong muscle. Senior people, embedded in the work instead of selling it from a deck, with the method and the bench of a much larger firm.

We grew out of strategy and procurement work for state government, and that remains our largest practice. We are now known for something more specific: taking a strategy that is stuck on paper and making it real. That is the thread through everything on this site.

Where we work

Our strongest relationships are with state government departments in Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia and South Australia, and with Commonwealth agencies including Austrade and DFAT. We also work with local councils, universities and TAFEs, statutory authorities and funds, and regulated mid-size organisations in energy, water and infrastructure.

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. Leads stakeholders through the process from start to finish.

What we stand for

Five values. One standard.

  • Honesty. We say what we think, early, even when it is unwelcome.
  • Respect. For your people, your constraints and your time.
  • Care. For the work, and for the people it lands on.
  • Craft. The detail is the work.
  • Responsibility. We stay until it is done, and we own what we deliver.
