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 and middle sized organisations into local, state and federal Government, and as a result is successfully influencing the direction of ICT in Australia.

His passion to supporting his community extends beyond IT. He actively supports local schools and sports teams as well as provides career pathways into ICT for local talent through Blue Crystal Solutions’ graduate and leadership programs.
