Rod Biggar

Chief Executive Officer

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since 1966, when designers at Letraset and James Mosley, the librarian at St Bride Printing Library in London, took a 1914 Cicero translation and scrambled it to make dummy text for Letraset’s Body Type sheets.

It has survived not only many decades, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

Stephen Bettoli

Operations Manager

Driven by a desire to achieve better health outcomes for all Australians, Steve has extensive experience from working on the service delivery side of public health in Microbiology labs across Victoria.

As our Operations Manager, he has a keen eye for optimising the business and creating cohesion across the Kestral team. He started as an account manager with us and worked his way up through the ranks, always trying new things.

When he’s not thinking laterally about how to improve Kestral’s operations, you can find him at home playing console games, like Call of Duty.

Based in Melbourne, David has a keen insight to radiology and imaging technology. Over the last 25+ years, he’s been heavily involved in Imaging, including working as a Radiographer, then as a salesperson for Kodak’s X-Ray film solutions, and at Phillips in Nuclear Medicine solutions.

When the Imaging industry changed to viewing studies on PACS, David joined Sectra managing the PACS business in Australia and New Zealand. After which he made his way to Kestral.

When out of the office, you can find David at the local cinema watching the latest films. And on weekends, he happily cooks delicious food for family and friends.

Amongst his many achievements with us, he’s most proud of setting up the New Zealand office. And on top of that, his role in the professional services team is far reaching, bringing lots of variety and customer interaction.

Known affectionately as “Waddo”, Andrew is addicted to CrossFit and loves the thrill of nailing a good lift (when his injuries allow!).
