Evan Bailey

With over 20 years of experience in IT consulting, engineering, and leadership, I specialize in driving technological transformation, operational efficiency, and business-aligned innovation. As Head of IT at AESC, I oversee strategic initiatives that enhance infrastructure, strengthen security, and optimize IT systems to empower business success.

Previously, I held leadership positions at Advania, Bergstan South Africa, SSH Architecture, BKS Pty Ltd and AECOM SA (PTY) LTD, managing enterprise IT portfolios, global infrastructure transitions, and modern workplace transformations. My expertise spans IT network and infrastructure management, Microsoft 365 modernization, ICT project execution, and governance. I have successfully led high-impact projects, including server refresh initiatives, office relocations, and IT system integrations, ensuring seamless transitions and measurable efficiency gains.

Beyond technical execution, I am adept at strategic IT alignment, budgeting, procurement, compliance, and risk management, ensuring that technology investments deliver sustainable business value.

Passionate about innovation, I thrive in high-pressure environments, bringing a proactive approach to problem-solving and forward-thinking strategies that drive enterprise IT success. My ability to balance technical expertise with strategic leadership enables me to create resilient, scalable IT environments that support growth, collaboration, and security.
