Wayne Small co-founded Correct Solutions in 1997 after working in the technology industry for more than 15 years. He designed and built his first computer at age nine and by 12 was running his own computer repair business. After completing his Electronic Trades Certificate at the age of 16, Wayne became the technical lead in the computer repair department of a TV and video repair company.
In 1989, Wayne became technical support manager for PC manufacturer AST Research. He was soon running AST's training program for technical specialists across Australia and New Zealand. He later moved into sales and marketing roles, working as an account manager for several key customers.
After years in the industry, Wayne recognised that although a lot of organisations in the SMB sector had the latest hardware and software, they couldn't translate technology into business benefits. To fill this need, he helped establish Correct Solutions.
Wayne's deep understanding of technology helps him develop lateral thinking solutions that push the capabilities of technology to provide real and lasting benefits for clients. IT is one of Wayne's biggest passions and he thrives on seeing the technology solutions he helps create, translate into real business benefits for our clients.
Wayne works closely with Correct Solutions' partners. He has Microsoft MCSE 2000, MCSE+I and MCT certifications and has been named a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) with a specialisation in Microsoft Small Business Server since 2001. He regularly speaks at international business and technology conferences and provides staff training for partners. Wayne has also contributed to a number of books focused on the SBS Product.
In 2007, CRN Australia Magazine inducted Wayne into the CRN Hall of Fame for his community efforts, joining the likes of Bill Gates and other leading IT Industry personnel.
When not working, Wayne enjoys spending time at home with his family, bike riding and traveling to places with no mobile phone reception.
