About

Tony banham

Banham combines many years as a Corporate Executive reporting into the highest levels of multinationals - most recently to the CEO of Oracle, Larry Ellison - with a deep grasp of history. With a BSc in Computer Science from the University of Hertfordshire and a PhD in History from the Australian Defence Force Academy he takes an academic approach to the scientific application of the capitalisation of intangible heritage.
Sounds complex? It's not. Customers and citizens simply respond to roots and nostalgia; their own, and those of the organisations who serve them.
