Meet Lee Ager

Founder and Director of AGER BI

About Lee

Hi, I’m Lee, founder and director of AGER BI, and I’ve seen first hand how data transforms the way organisations think, operate, and grow.

My journey in data and technology began with a BSc (Hons) in Computer Information Systems from the University of Liverpool, graduating in 2000. Since then, I’ve amassed 25 years of hands-on experience in business intelligence (BI), data strategy, and enterprise reporting, delivering high-impact solutions across a diverse range of industries including healthcare, mining, transport, banking, and manufacturing.

From NHS to National BI Leadership

My career began in the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), where I built a strong foundation in senior analyst and supervisory roles. I was responsible for everything from operational KPI reporting to leading enterprise-level data quality frameworks and dashboard design, giving me a deep appreciation for the complexities of large-scale data environments.

After relocating to Australia, I joined the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), where I managed the Business Intelligence and Geospatial Support team. I led the successful migration of 41 high-value datasets into Microsoft Azure, implemented Qlik Sense throughout the organisation, and delivered interactive dashboards used by executives and analysts alike. My work helped modernise and scale BI capabilities for some of the most complex reporting environments in the public sector.

Founding AGER BI: Turning Expertise into Action

In 2018, I established Ager Consulting Pty Ltd to provide independent consulting services across data strategy, engineering, and business intelligence in Australia. After 6 successful years delivering high-impact solutions to clients as a sole practitioner, I saw the opportunity to scale.

In 2024, I rebranded and relaunched the company as AGER BI Pty Ltd, expanding our services and reinventing our delivery model to meet growing demand. Today, AGER BI is a dynamic and agile business intelligence consultancy with a small but highly skilled and certified team of handpicked senior developers and consultants who share my commitment to excellence.

Together, we deliver robust, modern data solutions to clients throughout Australia, combining strategic thinking, technical precision, and a relentless focus on practical business outcomes.

As Director, I remain deeply involved in every project. I personally scope and lead engagements while guiding the team to ensure every solution is tailored, technically sound, and delivered with care and accountability.

Over the years, we’ve delivered projects for leading organisations across Australia and New Zealand, including BHP, Fortescue Metals Group (FMG), Tronox, Newmont, Toyota, CBH Group, National Australia Bank (NAB), Eastern Health, Armaguard, and numerous state government departments and healthcare providers. This diverse experience means we understand the unique needs of different sectors and know how to build scalable BI solutions that deliver results.

My Approach

At AGER BI, I combine deep technical capability with a pragmatic, results-driven mindset, and a personal approach built on trust, warmth, and clear communication. I’m known for:

  • Simplifying complexity and delivering practical, high-performance data environments

  • Engaging stakeholders at all levels, from frontline teams to the boardroom, with clarity and approachability

  • Using the right technologies (Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, Azure Synapse, Snowflake, Databricks, Qlik and more) for the task at hand

  • Leading projects with transparency, agility, and accountability from start to finish

Whether you need to modernise legacy reporting, centralise siloed data, or improve the accuracy and speed of executive dashboards, I bring the experience, precision, and people-first approach to help you get it right the first time.
