International Tech Guru

What do you get when you cross an Emmanuel education with an interest in IT?

A technical evangelist. But this job is no joke, just ask Nathan Gregory.

Now working for Cisco Systems in San Francisco, his role as a technical evangelist is to train and certify engineers from all around the globe to effectively deploy, manage and secure their technology solutions.

After graduating from Emmanuel, Nathan completed a Bachelor of Information Technology at Bond before working for a start-up company during the dot-com boom, and then founding his own technology consulting firm.

He also spent a year volunteering for Youth With A Mission in Colorado, before going on outreach to Mexico, which brought back memories of his time at Emmanuel.

One of my highlights as a student was getting involved in the Duke of Edinburgh program

The expeditions sparked my passion for adventure and gave me skills to plan and survive a number of future solo remote travel adventures.

After his years of international service, Nathan returned to Australia to work as Chief Technology Officer for a fibre optic service provider before moving into the utilities sector, managing communication networks for the Queensland electricity grid.

With a desire to gain experience in the Chinese market, Nathan worked for one of China’s largest tech companies, Huawei Technologies, with a staggering 200,000 staff, before joining Cisco Systems in San Francisco.

With a resume like that, it’s no doubt current Emmanuel students would love to hear Nathan preach about his experience as a technical evangelist.
