Alex Colvin, CEO and founder of Pendula, said: “Pendula has always followed a philosophy of retaining and utilising the minimum amount of data to provide our services,”
“By bringing on-board security experts like Lance, we’re looking to keep that philosophy central to what we do as we build and improve the Pendula platform for our clients,” said Colvin
“A key focus for us, particularly as we prepare for global expansion, is to ensure we remain compliant with regulatory frameworks like the European Union’s GDPR or the US HIPAA regulations. We’ll be working with Lance and a team of external auditors to make sure the infrastructure we build is the best and most secure in our industry.” he said.
Pendula’s customer retention and digital engagement platform is experiencing explosive growth as major national and regional business leaders change business strategies in response to shifting global macroeconomic conditions.

Lance Callaghan, Head of Information Security at Pendula, said: “I am thrilled to be joining an Australian software company that has the ambition to grow and become a true international brand. From my years of experience working with international software companies,”
“I understand that international growth requires infrastructure. As we grow we will meet the demands of multiple markets and regulatory requirements. I’m looking forward to building a team of talented security engineers to make this happen at Pendula.”
