LogicaCMG Appoints Energy and Utilities Director

LogicaCMG, a major international force in IT and business services, has announced the appointment of Sorin Toma as its Energy and Utilities Director based in Sydney.  The appointment comes at a time as the utilities market gears up for new challenges in IT infrastructure resulting from industry privatisation, carbon emissions trading, renewable energy and the introduction of interval metering in Victoria and New South Wales.


Toma joins LogicaCMG with more than 15 years' experience in the energy industry during which time he has held executive positions at EDS, Deloitte Consulting and Accenture focused on the development and implementation of corporate strategies and large-scale business transformation engagements.

In recent years, LogicaCMG has built and continues to operate the world's first online emissions trading registry in New South Wales while the company's real-time SCADA systems monitor the drinking water for more than half the Australian population.  Sorin's breadth of experience will enable us to build on this leadership strength moving forward.'

Prior to joining LogicaCMG, Toma led the Australian Energy Industry Team in EDS' Business Business Transformation Outsourcing group.  Previously, at Deloitte Consulting, he successfully completed enterprise-wide transformation engagements in the energy, telecommunications and government sectors, including large systems ERP and CRM deployment, enterprise architecture, business process redesign, change management and business and technology strategic planning.   

As Energy Industry Specialist at Accenture in the early '90's, Toma was responsible for the delivery of management and technology consulting services including the development and implementation of strategy and technical architecture solutions, managing the procurement of hardware and software products, and overseeing the delivery of system integration, training and technical support services.
