Advisory and consultancy firm Lumify People has appointed Kenneth Hoppe as its new general manager.
Lumify says Hoppe takes over from Karen Smith who previously held the role, and he will be focused on the implementation and development of Lumify People’s strategies and policies, with the aim of expanding the business into new sectors.
Prior to his appointment, Hoppe was the Director of Defence for Augment Resources, a professional services and consultancy firm in Melbourne.
Lumify says Hoppe has over 30 years of experience in technical support, logistics engineering, instructional analysis, contracting, and project management, having also worked in various senior and executive management roles for Nova Systems and Logistic Solutions Australia.
Lumify People says Hoppe will also be managing existing partnerships with public sector clients – mostly in Defence – leveraging his acute understanding of the industry environment.
"He has spent the last 15 years providing professional services to Defence and the Defence Industry, in particular the Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group (CASG) and the Chief Information Officers group (CIOG), making him an invaluable asset to DDLS People,” notes DDLS People.
Since its inception, Lumify People says it has delivered over 200 Defence projects and upwards of 1,000 logistics systems training courses per year, to organisations such as the Navy, Army and Air Force.
“Lumify People has an established track record of delivering results with commitment and passion over two decades to some of Australia’s biggest agencies. I’m eager to join the team and leverage my industry experience to help organisations drive a path towards workflow optimisation, improved business productivity and profitability”, said Hoppe.
Lumify People partners with public sector and Defence organisations to help solve problems, large and small. With 20 years of experience in logistics support, project management and training, Lumify People is powered by a team of passionate and dedicated professionals and the national reach and expertise of the Lumify Group (Previously DDLS).
