Myriota Named a 2026 5-Star Employer of Choice for the second consecutive year

We’re thrilled to announce that for the second consecutive year, Myriota has been recognized as a 5-Star Employer of Choice by HRD Australia.

This back-to-back achievement comes at a pivotal moment for our company. As we continue to scale, we’ve sharpened our focus, redefining our Mission, Vision and Values to reflect our global impact. 

This award is particularly meaningful because it’s driven by the direct, anonymous feedback of our team, validating our commitment to creating a workplace where world-class innovation meets human-centric values.

A shared Vision and Mission

At Myriota, we aren’t just building technology; we’re driven by a singular purpose. We believe in a world made better by a pervasive Internet of Things, and our team works every day to connect the physical world for impact.

Whether it’s helping farmers optimise water usage or driving efficiency in global logistics, our “Employer of Choice” status is a reflection of a team that finds deep meaning in the work they do. 

Living our values

Our culture is defined by a refreshed set of core values that guide how we show up for our customers and each other:

• Disrupt and Delight: We build solutions that disrupt markets and delight customers.
• Relentless Delivery: We are relentless in our delivery, both as a team and as individuals.
• Embrace the Challenge: We embrace hard, embody change, and find a way.
• Outcome-Driven: We measure ourselves on outcomes, ensuring our work has real-world value.
• In It Together: We remember that in good times and bad, we are in it together.

Beyond our values, we pride ourselves on a workplace that balances high-performance with genuine support. By offering a flexible workplace, we empower our team to deliver their best work in a way that fits their lives. We are also incredibly proud of our intergenerational team; the synergy between our seasoned experts and emerging talent creates a depth of perspective that is so important within the tech sector. This unique environment has fostered a deep sense of loyalty, with many of our team members growing alongside us throughout our journey.

“Winning this award for a second year isn’t a sign that we’ve ‘arrived,’ but rather a reflection of our grit. In an industry as demanding as space-tech, it’s easy to focus solely on the solutions, but our people give us a distinct edge. We’ve cultivated a culture where we don’t just accept change – we embody it. This recognition belongs to every Myriotian who chooses to lean into the difficult challenges, holds themselves accountable for excellence, and maintains that crucial sense of camaraderie. It’s their relentless energy that transforms our ambitious goals into tangible reality.”
– David Haley, Myriota Co-Founder and CTO

Leadership excellence: Sharon Elding Joins the HRD Hot List

We’re thrilled to share that Sharon Elding, Myriota’s Director of People & Talent, has also been named in the HRD Hot List for 2026. This prestigious list recognises the most exceptional HR leaders across Australia and New Zealand who are driving workplace transformation and redefining the future of work.

With nearly two decades of international experience across APAC and Europe, Sharon’s leadership has been central to Myriota’s cultural evolution. She has been instrumental in weaving our updated values into the “Myriotian” experience – ensuring that as we scale, we remain a place where high performance is balanced with genuine support and inclusion.

From weaving Myriota’s updated values into the everyday “Myriotian” experience to ensuring the company remains a place of inclusion and belonging as it scales, Sharon’s work is a living demonstration that a thriving culture and strong commercial outcomes are not separate destinations. They are the same journey.

Reflecting on the double win, Sharon says:

“Being named an Employer of Choice for a second year – and being recognized on the Hot List – is a testament to the agility of our entire team. In a deep-tech scale-up environment, we don’t shy away from the ‘hard’ parts of growth. By embracing change and finding a way through complex people challenges, we’ve built a culture where we measure ourselves on outcomes, ensuring every team member feels the tangible impact of their contribution.”

Sharon’s focus remains on nurturing the unique synergy between our seasoned industry experts and emerging talent, creating an inclusive environment where operational excellence and human-centric values thrive side-by-side.

Sharon’s recognition on the HRD Hot List is a testament to the strategic depth she brings to our leadership team. She has been a vital partner in navigating the complexities of our growth, ensuring that as Myriota evolves, our culture remains our greatest competitive advantage. Her ability to translate our vision into a lived experience for every ‘Myriotian’ is exactly why she belongs on this list.
