Helen Simondson - Manager, WA Museum Boola Bardip

I am a creative cultural producer, focused on art technology and innovation. I am deeply invested in the nexus of the start-up innovation and the creative and cultural industries. I co-designed and delivered the first Australian Museum led, Creative Tech Business Accelerator, ACMI Xcel: Creative Tech Accelerator. Xcel fosters groundbreaking innovation and helps creative Industries practitioners build viable global businesses.

My personal interest is in how technology activates innovative ways to engage with new and diverse audiences, and I believe there is cultural and social value in the participatory culture which is rapidly expanding with the rise of portable media platforms.

I am always seeking new challenges where I can apply my broad skill-set in the successful development and delivery of innovative and creative programs. Highly skilled in leading multi-disciplinary teams; setting direction, motivating commitment and driving results.
