About the founder

The person behind Ted5.

EB
Founder & CEO, Ted5
Erdenezaya Batnasan
IT Professional & Bridge Leader · UWA AI Researcher · Perth, WA
linkedin.com/in/erdenezayabatnasan

17+ years across the full IT spectrum — from hands-on systems and infrastructure work through to architecture, delivery, and technology strategy in highly regulated banking environments. Worked alongside Deloitte, KPMG, and EY on IT assessments and major transformation projects, sitting on the bank side as the internal expert they engaged with. Active AI researcher at the University of Western Australia. Building Ted5 to give every Perth SME access to the rigour that used to cost six figures.

Enterprise methodology, without the enterprise invoice

Worked alongside Deloitte, KPMG, and EY on IT operations assessments and regulatory projects within major banking institutions — not as a consultant, but as the internal technology lead they had to satisfy. The Ted5 framework is built on what those engagements actually test for.

Most consultants live on one side. A practitioner who became a strategist can ask the questions that expose real risk — and explain the answers without jargon.
