Tomas Haffenden's Linkedin Analytics

I didn’t think anyone actually read these… But since you’re here, let’s make it worth your time. I’m a creative storyteller fuelled by curiosity, caffeine, and the occasional existential crisis. My career has been a series of bold experiments, blending imagination, technology, and strategy to reshape how stories are told and how people connect with them. Most recently, this has meant AI-native storytelling: building custom GPTs, scripting and producing explainer films, podcasts, and campaigns, and directing AI image and video assets that educate customers, enable sales, and bring strategy to life. Recognised as a LinkedIn Top Voice in Tech, I share playbooks, experiments, and emerging practices that help teams unlock creativity with generative AI. I am also a scriptwriter and micro-fiction enthusiast, a finalist in both international screenwriting and flash fiction competitions, and now experimenting with transforming those scripts and stories into short films created entirely with AI tools. Over the last decade, I have worked across various organisations, including Business Australia, VERSA, The Works, Torrens University, and now Telstra & Quantium Telstra, leading teams that deliver, innovate, and disrupt. Along the way, I have written, spoken, and podcasted my way into industry conversations, from keynotes at The CX Symposium to hosting The Mistake That Shaped Me. Outside of work, I am an unapologetic feminist dad to two fierce daughters. An Englishman still hunting Sydney’s best scotch egg. A former comedian with one unforgettable gig at the Opera House. And an aspiring author drafting the absurdly honest parenting book I Used to Sht Alone.
