Vito Rinaldi
Managing Director
With 30+ years of experience in IT, strategy and partnerships, Vito is dedicated to driving innovation and maximising his clients’ business performance through ICT.
Vito’s continuing commitment to providing value for money for his customers is reflected in the growth of Blue Crystal Solutions into leading areas such as Application Developement, Cloud, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
Vito serves as a Board Director for the Australian Industry Information Association (AIIA), a peak representative body and advocacy group for those in the digital ecosystem. His passion for digital transformation and advocacy for AIIA reaches not only large multi-nationals but the small to medium organisation punching above their weight. This aligns perfectly with this mission to represent small to middle sized organisations into Local, State and Federal Government, and as a result has successfully influenced the direction of ICT in Australia.
His passion to supporting his community extends beyond IT. He actively supports local schools and sporting teams as well as providing local talent opportunities through graduate and leadership programs.
