SENIOR STRATEGY ANALYST | WESTERN POWER

Ant Erickson

Ant Erickson has plied the BA craft for years across technology, human capital and strategy roles – as a contributor, a leader and often, both!

His openness to a diversity of roles and experiences has meant he’s been fortunate to be both generalist and specialist, while working and living in both the US and Australia. Fitting then, as moderator on this FoBA’s panel session.

A former IIBA Perth volunteer and passionate about developing others, Ant re-established the Education portfolio in 2019 and, with trusty facilitators, delivered the first BABOK and Business Data Analytics study group in years.
