About IWD
Jamila Gordon
CEO and Founder, Lumachain
Jamila has a deep understanding of the corporate world from both a technology and business perspective, and an extensive network spanning the business, technology, start-up and VC worlds, both in Australia and globally.
Jamila's professional success is made more remarkable by her personal story. She arrived in Australia at the age of 18 having escaped the Somali civil war alone and being virtually homeless in Kenya. Jamila set about learning English and then studied IT at La Trobe University, before commencing a career that has taken her around the world. She served on the Board of La Trobe University for five years.
She is deeply committed to helping refugees and others from disadvantaged backgrounds to succeed in Australia, and is on the board of CareerSeekers and was formerly on the board of CareerTrackers.
Jamila is CEO and Founder of Lumachain, a technology platform that disrupts traditional enterprise supply chains globally. Lumachain uses blockchain, AI and a range of other technologies to provide transparency, safety and trust throughout global supply chains.
She was recently made Microsoft's global Awardee in the 2018 International Women Entrepreneurship Challenge (IWEC). Jamila collected the award in Shanghai, marking a milestone in her transformation from a leading Australian technology executive to globally recognised start-up founder.
In addition to Lumachain, Gordon is a Non-Executive Director of Jayride Ltd, and an advisory board member of VentureCrowd, Australia's leading crowd funding platform.
Jamila’s background includes roles as Group Chief Information Officer of Qantas Airways and Leighton Holdings/CIMIC, and prior to this, as a global executive with IBM based in Europe, leading some of IBM's largest transformational 'mega-deals' with Solectron Manufacturing, AXA Insurance and ABN AMRO Bank.
A video was produced by SBS about Jamila, which is part of a series celebrating people from challenging/refugee backgrounds who have made a significant contribution to Australia's technology and business landscape, as part of the broadcaster's 2018 Australia Day celebrations.
