Cow tech to transform lives with Param Singh

Bevan Slattery is one of Australia’s most successful tech entrepreneurs, founding a record five ASX-listed companies.  
But the path to innovator and rich-lister was not a straight one.
Dramatic career detours, from aspiring accountant to DJ to local government clerk and finally IT whiz, taught him to follow his curiosity and solve big problems – an approach that’s helped him grow mega-projects for Australia’s digital communications.
Bevan is CQUniversity’s 2023 Outstanding Alumnus of the Year, and you can learn more about his work here.
