John Bedwany is a true professional and an inspiration to all who come into contact with him. I was taught a long time ago that your life is like a wheel. You need to balance sport, achievement, business, spiritual, career and family. If you do, the wheel turns smoothly and beautifully. It gets you ahead of the pack and to places you never imagined.
John is one of those rare executives that has career and business success which is balanced out with elite sport, spirituality and ambition for others. It is this balance that allows him to be positive and to spread that energy to others.
It is great to see people that have succeeded willing to step back and to teach others those subtle skills that are often ignored or kicked down the road. Everyone will benefit from interacting with John.

On top of that, his IQ and EQ are both at the high end meaning he delivers value with deep insight and empathy. John makes a difference!

Mark Phibbs – VP Global Marketing – Cisco
This note is to attest to me knowing John Bedwany in a personal and business capacity for over thirty years. John became a personal friend as a consequence of me employing and mentoring John across two business organisations and for many years. As an employee John was hard working and highly focused on successful outcomes and always exceeded his business targets.
John has had, and continues to have, a business career that is simply outstanding and I am pleased to say that I am privy to the next exciting phases of his personal and business adventures whereby his knowledge and business acumen will be taught and shared with others. A major contributor to his success in business I believe, was and is, his application of honesty and integrity in all of his dealings with people. Those that become engaged with John in the next phases of his activities will, I am sure, benefit greatly from the experience.
It is with great pleasure and pride that I commend John Bedwany as a man of many talents and a man in possession of intrinsic goodness of character.
Adrian Lane-Mullins – Managing Director – CustomerCorp
I have known John Bedwany for the past six years and initially met him when I was running our business and we were looking at vendors that could help us work through some of our challengers and achieve even better results. This was my first exposure to John’s authenticity, composure and ability to really inspire you to innovate, believe and be positive not just about your work or the task at hand but in yourself and your own ability.
Johns style and calmness is infectious even in some of the toughest times, he became a business and personal mentor to me as a younger executive looking to balance the volatility and demands of the modern workplace, with a home/family and my own aspirations for success. You don’t need more than a short conversation to know that John has the ability to encourage you as a human being to express your feelings (positive and negative) and offer you advice based on his significant experience and deeply ingrained goodness and spirituality. I have been the benefactor of someone who genuinely cares about the wellness and success of others, and continues to “pay it forward” just because that is who he is.
Basil Botoulas – Vice President Global Revenue Ops – Hitachi Vantara
I have had the pleasure of knowing John for over 25 years. As soon as you meet John you recognise his strength, not only physical but mental strength. John is an excellent listener, authentic in his actions and he has the ability to guide and help you in a very personal and engaging way. John has been incredibly successful in life and he has the aptitude to help so many people with his knowledge and experiences.
Kelvin Kirk – Chief Commercial Officer – Connectivise
John is a passionate and authentic human being who deeply cares about our future. John backs up his passion with an optimistic and can do attitude that is infectious
James Kyd – Global Head of Marketing – Xero
John and I first met 5 or 6 years ago when I was the regional VP & MD for a A$400m global technology distributor. He is the consummate professional and I found his business skills impressive. But over time, I became even more impressed with his life skills. In that regard, he exudes authenticity and motivates others to achieve new levels. He certainly provided invaluable ideas to me that guided my journey towards a better version of myself.
