David Kellam’s Summary
I am a Director of Melbourne-based CoreMind Pty Ltd, an innovative Managed Services company providing business value through the effective and efficient analysis, implementation, management and support of IT Systems. We focus on value creation through win-win relationships with our clients, and take all the hassle out of their IT Infrastructure implementation and management for a fixed monthly fee.
I also offer Strategic IT Consulting services and am active in building and advising local Internet-based companies.
My experience in both technical and business domains ranges from helping individuals and small businesses up to 400-seat environments. CoreMind primarily focuses on environments with between 5 and 50 PCs or companies looking to achieve rapid growth supported by flexible yet stable IT systems.

Coworking Melbourne is currently seeking out and fostering a community of people looking for flexible, social and community-minded work culture and environment - a mashup of funky office, cafe, large company social networks, small business agility and no bullshit! My role is to bring the community together and realise the vision. If they come, I will build it!
