We're thrilled to welcome Toby Bellwood to the Aristotle Metadata team as our new Chief Technology Officer.
Toby brings over six years of experience leading engineering teams at amazee.io, where he built and scaled a globally distributed web hosting platform across multiple time zones. Throughout his career, his focus has been on access: making platforms reliable enough that the content and data on them can actually reach the people who need it.
Aristotle works on the other side of that problem. Making sure data is described, governed, and discoverable in the first place.
Toby has worked hands-on in the Australian Government's data ecosystem for years, across agencies publishing open and spatial data, platforms consuming it, and the infrastructure underpinning data.gov.au, NationalMap, and GovCMS. He knows what good metadata looks like, and he knows the friction when it isn't there.
We couldn't be more excited to have someone with that depth of experience stepping into the CTO role. Welcome to the team, Toby!
