Hi. I'm Brenton Johnson.

I find gold where no one else is looking.

Technology entrepreneur. National speaker on AI, cyber security, culture and leadership. Founder of Uptake Digital.

Brenton Johnson

Brenton Johnson is one of the most distinctive voices in the Australian IT industry. He backed the cloud before the market did, earned a place in Microsoft's first Cloud Solution Provider intake, and built Uptake Digital into a nationally profiled managed IT provider - the outsourced IT department for organisations that don't run their own - along with a company culture the industry writes articles about.

He speaks nationally on four things he knows deeply: AI, cyber security, culture, and leadership.

"If you get culture right, everything else becomes easier."

The record: first-intake Microsoft CSP partner. 50+ Microsoft 365 migrations before the program existed. Three AISA CyberCon speaking appearances. A company culture profiled nationally.

Speaking

Keynotes and breakout sessions that make complexity sound simple. AISA CyberCon speaker - 2019, 2023 and 2026.

Leadership

Built a nationally recognised MSP from a standing start in Bendigo - and a culture-first leadership playbook the industry now studies.

Media

Quoted by ABC News on cyber security and profiled nationally on business culture and the future of managed services.
