Phil Morle

Phil is a producer and a maker.

He is a Partner at the CSIRO's venture capital arm, Main Sequence Ventures.

His career began as a theatre director teaching him how to build something from nothing, how to build tightly unified teams and how to tell a story.

His career transitioned from making tech-heavy art into making tech with a producer mindset. This phase of his career culminated in his role as CTO at the massive file-sharing company - Kazaa. At its height, this company was the majority of data travelling through the internet and played a material role in the emergence of how media is shared today.

After Kazaa, Phil co-founded the first tech incubator in Asia Pacific - Pollenizer. Here he played an instrumental role in developing the startup ecosystem across Asia Pacific and advised some of the world’s biggest organisations on practical ways to deliver new growth and the cultural change that is required to get there.

In 2016, he led and designed the program for ON, CSIRO's national deep tech accelerator program.
