Bevan Slattery
Co-Founder, Co-Owner & Chief Executive Officer
A serial entrepreneur, Bevan Slattery has been successfully building IT and telecommunications businesses in Australia for nearly 20 years. He has experience transforming ideas into ASX-listed innovations, having started and scaled several now-public companies including Pipe Networks (ASX:PWK), NEXTDC (ASX:NXT), Megaport (ASX:MP1) and Superloop (ASX:SLC).
Having grown up on the coast of Queensland, Bevan developed a true passion for the Great Barrier Reef at a young age, which set in motion a philanthropic mission to help conserve and restore critical marine ecosystems. Thus, he ventured beyond telco in 2016 to co-found Biopixel and Biopixel Oceans Foundation, which are proudly part of the Soda Group and work to fulfil the vision of discovering a better future for our reef and marine life.
Now the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Soda, Bevan is driving Australian innovation and prosperity through digital infrastructure, environmental sustainability and business ventures. Companies that Bevan has founded and are currently part of the Soda Group include SUBCO, HyperOne, Biopixel, Biopixel Oceans Foundation, Argo Expeditions and Cloudscene.
