For over three decades, I've helped visionary businesses harness emerging technologies to create extraordinary growth. 

From the dawn of mobile phones to today's AI revolution, I've consistently turned technological disruption into competitive advantage for my clients.

My journey began in 1987 with the first wave of mobile technology. 

The Car Phone.

Since then, I've successfully navigated every major digital transformation - from the internet's emergence in 1996 (launching the World's first coin operated Internet Kiosk) to digital marketing's evolution in 2010, & now the AI revolution. 

Each wave has deepened my expertise in spotting opportunities others miss.

Today, I lead Sydney Digital Marketing Agency, established in 2014 and recognized among Australia's smartest businesses on the 2023 Smart50 list. 

We partner with medium & enterprise businesses to reduce their cost of customer acquisition and transform their marketing results through data-driven strategies that consistently deliver measurable ROI.

What sets me apart isn't just the depth of my experience - it's my ability to see around corners and guide businesses toward future opportunities while delivering results today.

Simon Gould ✪ CEO ✪ Sydney Digital Marketing Agency ✪

Innovative, client-focused, and a leader in structural engineering - I am dedicated to transforming complex challenges into streamlined, practical solutions. With over 15 years of industry-leading experience, I drive projects towards excellence.

My career spans a rich tapestry of roles, from structural engineer to mentor and entrepreneur. I've had the privilege of contributing to construction projects with individual values exceeding $400 million and a combined worth of over $4.5 billion. My expertise covers a broad spectrum, from concept design to post-construction services, ensuring quality and efficiency at every stage.

Specialising in structural engineering in CLASS 2, 3 and 9c under THE DBPA in NSW, our team offer comprehensive expertise in shoring and retention system design, post-tensioned structures, and long-span structures to save our clients an average of 15% to 20% of time and money each project. Proficient in software like RAPT, SLAB, PT3D, Spacegass, RAM Concept, AutoCAD, BIM, and Revit Structures, I bring a tech-forward approach to design and analysis, with additional specialisation in glass, aluminium, and stainless steel.

Beyond engineering, I am passionate about leadership and personal development, constantly seeking new ways to innovate and inspire. My journey is not just about structures; it's about building relationships and fostering growth, both in projects and people.

As a mentor, I believe in the power of empowering others. My approach is to develop skills and confidence, guiding team members and clients through complex engineering landscapes with clarity and innovation. I strive for consistency in deliverables, promoting a culture of excellence and adaptability. This year,  I am helping more than two dozen professionals and business owners in growing their influences, teams,  assets, businesses and legacies. 

Let's connect and explore how my expertise can bring your next project to new heights. Whether it's a complex engineering challenge or a need for seasoned leadership, I'm here to collaborate and innovate.

This year, Radius 2026 starts with pay it forward, and that’s why we’re proudly partnered with St. Merkorious Charity Association Inc. 

A meaningful portion of what RADIUS generates is designed to go back into the community through St Merkorious. It’s not a token donation or a nice slogan. It’s built into the DNA of the event. We want the people in the room to leave with better relationships and better outcomes and know that being there helped someone else too.

Now here’s the practical reason you should still come: 

Radius is a curated room for people who actually build things, projects, teams, companies, and long-term partnerships.

Why you should come to Radius 2026 (especially this year)

1) Because the mission changes the energy
When an event is anchored to giving, people show up differently. More open. Less “what can I get?” and more “how can I contribute?”
That creates a rare kind of room — high trust, high quality conversations, and a lot less ego.

2) Because your next deal won’t come from another ad
It’ll come from a conversation where someone finally trusts you.
Radius is designed for those conversations — not awkward networking, but real “what are you working on?” chats that turn into site visits, referrals, hires, and partnerships.

3) Because the industry is moving fast and most people are reacting
AI, compliance pressure, rising costs, shifting procurement, workforce shortages, new client expectations — it’s a lot. Radius is a shortcut. You’ll hear what’s working from operators who are already adapting, not just commenting from the sidelines.

4) Because the crowd is intentionally capped
Fewer seats. Higher signal. Better people.
If you’ve been to events where you meet 50 people and remember none, you’ll feel the difference immediately.

A big part of what makes Radius work: our sponsors and partners.

They’re not “logos on a slide”. They’re businesses that raise the bar in the real world — and they’re backing the St Merkorious partnership by supporting Radius 2026.

Waterproofing Integrity - Design & Inspection Services 
3rd time partnering with Palantir Consulting  

Silva Global 
4th time this year supporting us as Diamond sponsors. 

Waterproofing Compliance 
Two years in a row giving believe and offer value. 

Who Radius is for

If you’re a developer, builder, PM, architect, engineer, certifier, consultant, supplier, or specialist contractor — and you care about building quality outcomes and quality relationships — you’ll get value from being in the room.

If you want to attend (or bring your team), comment “RADIUS” or DM me, and I’ll send you the details. 2nd round early bird ticket release ends this week.

NEW #RADIUS2026 Speaker Announcement

Ashley Nugawela
Oracle's Director of Business Engineering 
(ANZ, ASEAN, INDIA)
𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 & 𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗚𝗟𝗢𝗕𝗔𝗟 𝗕𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧

Excited to announce Ashley  as a speaker for #RADIUS2026, where he will be speaking on:

"𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 – 𝗖𝗼-𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻"

Let’s be honest — 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲.

The industry has changed.

- 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.

- 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀.

- 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴.

- 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴.

- 𝗘𝗥𝗣 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆.

- 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.

And that means professionals in construction and engineering need to change too.

This is the time to invest in strategy.

This is the time to sharpen new skills.

This is the time to step up, be visible, and contribute to the future of the industry.

Ashley’s session will speak directly into that shift.

Because the next era of construction and engineering will be shaped by those willing to co-create innovation rather than avoid it.

Proud to have him as part of the RADIUS 2026 speaker lineup.
