Gary Macbeth
Corporate Advisor

Gary brings over 25 years in technology and business management, with senior level operations experience from start-up to enterprise level, and a particular passion for early-stage, technology driven ventures.

An entrepreneur by nature, Gary started his career in systems development in the UK and moved to Silicon Valley in 1987. He progressed into the executive and business development function when he founded a consulting group in 1992. The company delivered product and services in Enterprise Applications and Business Intelligence, with clients that included Sun Microsystems, Apple, and BT/Concert.

He later formed a venture forum in 1999, providing deal-flow and education services for the investor and entrepreneur community in Santa Cruz, California. This led to further investment and client opportunities for Gary as a venture catalyst in primarily technology-driven ventures.

As a commercially focused venture catalyst to companies in the US, UK and Australia, Gary has a broad international network in tech business operations and regional investment communities. Gary delivers an agile, results-driven, 'can-do' attitude, working closely at management team and board level on strategic transactions and the development and execution of business, product and commercialisation strategies.
