Mal joined Mater's team as the Chief Information Officer (CIO) in 2004. His role involves strategic stewardship of Mater’s IT resources, with a focus on delivering high-quality, value-based information technology services across campus.

Since his arrival, Mal has overseen significant upgrades of Mater’s various IT systems and this year his sector achieved a major coup—the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with IBM, Intel and Cisco that will see Mater collaborate with these technology giants on a range of Smart Hospital strategies.
