Gavin McKay

Gavin McKay is the CTO and co-founder of Castlepoint, overseeing the research, development and engineering teams of the industry-disrupting AI company, and setting the product direction.

His extensive background in IT started at university in Canberra and, after his move to the UK in the 2000s, he joined one of the first businesses to deploy large scale rollouts of Microsoft SharePoint. He has worked for 30 years with large scale and complex infrastructure and software, co-founding a blob storage company Stepwise in Canberra in 2010, followed by STLP Consulting in 2012 and then Castlepoint Systems in 2018.

Gavin has worked alongside Rachael Greaves (Castlepoint CEO and co-founder) for over ten years on some of the most critical government and industry platforms in Australia, and their experience auditing and architecting cyber, records, and compliance systems led them to conceptualize, and then create, Castlepoint: a single solution to manage all the data, in all the systems, all the time (and compliantly), without the impacts of traditional technologies.

As CTO, Gavin is responsible for ensuring that the product roadmap stays ahead of the curve, while maintaining the architectural principles of full coverage, no impact. Gavin sets the heading and supports the Product team’s developers, researchers, and senior engineers to continually expand our use cases and deliver real transformation for clients.
