In this episode of Let’s Talk Robotics with Nicci Rossouw, I speak with David Fletcher Ly from Infotech People, a network member of ours. David is a Melbourne-based business owner of a specialist recruitment firm connecting top talent with companies at the forefront of AI, Automation, and Robotics. With a sharp eye for both technical depth and human potential, he thrives on building bridges between groundbreaking ideas and the people who bring them to life.

David shares his inspiring journey — from arriving in Australia as a refugee at just nine months old to becoming a leader passionate about fostering connections between technology and the people behind it. His story is shaped by resilience, gratitude, and a deep respect for opportunity. He believes that success is about lifting others as you rise, mentoring candidates, supporting innovation in Australia's tech ecosystem, and giving back through charitable initiatives.

Now, as he prepares to enter the exciting chapter of fatherhood, David’s passion for building a better future has taken on even deeper meaning. Away from the office, you’ll likely find him chasing a laugh with friends on the tennis courts or wandering overseas down streets he swears he knows — though he usually gets lost along the way.

At his core, David believes the future isn’t just about technology — it’s about people. With his first child on the way, he’s more committed than ever to connecting talent with the innovations that will shape tomorrow.
