Dean Calvert - CEO. (https://www.linkedin.com/in/deancalvert/)
Dean Calvert is founder, owner, and CEO of Calvert Technologies, one of Adelaide's leading managed service providers, specialising in supporting businesses with 10-100 staff located through South Australia and the Northern Territory, since 1995.
He is also a Professional EOS© Implementer and delights in helping entrepreneurial business owners and their leadership teams get more from their business.
Dean's ability to explain complex technical concepts in a clear non-technical manner has seen him speak as a business technologist at events across the world for organisations including Microsoft, Kaseya, Hewlett-Packard, and Canalys.
In 1992 Dean graduated with a Bachelor of Science (Chemistry) from Flinders University, Adelaide, South Australia.
When not working on his business or mentoring others Dean enjoys cycling through the glorious Adelaide hills and flying gyroplanes (he is a qualified senior gyroplane flight instructor). He is also unashamedly addicted to his family and has been heard to say he’d take a bullet for them (although he may have been referring to a liquorice bullet!).
