Helen Sloan
Helen Sloan is CEO of Southern Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (SSROC). SSROC is a non-profit organisation owned by its 12 member councils, that provides a range of services to councils. Helen has a background in IT, enterprise transformation and sustainable development before joining SSROC in 2008, with a desire to implement meaningful projects for local benefit.
Most recently Helen has led the SSROC team working with Ausgrid to replace all main road streetlights in the Ausgrid area with new luminaires that are equipped with smart controls and a port suitable for smart city sensors. This infrastructure will enable 29 councils to have access to a network of powered points to deliver their smart city plans, as well as to efficiently control streetlights. The project is the largest deployment of its type in Australia, and a world-leading initiative.
