Scott Osborne

Founder & CEO

Scott Osborne — Founder and CEO of Total Synergy.

Just quickly...

Scott was enjoying a distinguished career in professional services (*cough* accounting! *cough*) and software sales, then one of his clients asked him to find a better technology solution for running his AEC design business. Synergy was born (probably in the kitchen or bedroom, if it’s a real software origin story).

 

It’s this entrepreneurial spirit that underpins our company’s success (and ultimately saved Scott from a career in accounting). Give Scott half a chance and he’ll “just quickly” draw explanatory diagrams on his Surface (or a napkin), causing eye rolls and enthusiasm in equal measure.

Daniel Cran

Chief Customer Officer

If only closed minds came with closed mouths.

Dan has been in leadership roles around the world for 20 years, with the last 13 of those being in technology. He’s run regions, launched start-ups, scaled up businesses, opened offices in both Australia and the US, consulted, and held C-level roles. In his own words, he’s “seen it all in the tech space!” What’s the biggest lesson Dan’s learned from all this experience? “That empowering people and simplifying the processes are the keys to success.”

 

When he’s not burning bright in the TS Sydney office, Dan’s hobbies include not wearing shoes, being immersed in water, watching every and any sport (“except one, which I refuse to”), cooking, and keeping the good people at the Bundaberg distillery in business.

Paul Hemmings

Head of Product Strategy

Paul Hemmings — Product Manager for Total Synergy.

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Paul has a lot of experience in AEC business software. He graduated as an architect in 1991, then worked at the Cox Group in IT.

 

In 1997, Paul founded ProjectCentre (now renamed ‘iTWOcx’), a very well-known construction and engineering project management platform that pre-dated Aconex. ProjectCentre managed quality, financial, and contractual control and safety. In 2012 Paul and his co-founder sold ProjectCentre to RIB Software and Paul remained with the product as the R&D director for a further four years. Paul joined Team Total Synergy in November 2017.
