Hayley sat down with Donavan Hutchinson, and discussed his journey into tech and how business leaders can be doing more to encourage diversity and inclusion in the workplace, without it being a tick-box exercise.
Like many people who work in tech today, Donavan started on a completely different career path. After leaving school, Donavan joined the army at a very young age, but during his recovery time after having an accident he found a job working in sales for a value added reseller (VAR), Insight, and eventually the top sales rep there. He is now the managing director of award-winning IT company SHI, and is passionate about making change within the IT channel – especially when it comes to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
