Evans was previously Chief Operating Officer at Virgin Mobile Australia where he held the role since 2000.

Evans has more than 20 years experience in IT gained across Australia, the US and the UK.
“As engin’s business continues to grow by delivering massive savings to home and small business users, we are certain that Barry’s outstanding expertise will help position engin strongly for the future,” said Tales.
Prior to his roles at engin and Virgin Mobile, Evans held several senior executive positions including Vice President at TSC, a leading systems integrator based in the United States and Europe, and seven years at Fujitsu culminating in his appointment to the role of Director of Networking Products.
