Today we're throwing the spotlight on the local legend known as Robert Kalka, our Business Development Manager. Take it away Rob!

"Hi, I’m Rob. A grandfather, musician, traveller, cook, kayaker and 'teller of dad jokes'.

My parents’ experiences as refugees influenced my career and I’ve been fortunate to have worked in international development, fair trade, primary health care and disability services. I joined Connecting Up in October 2018, just prior to its merger with Infoxchange. So, I’m coming up to 5 years of service in a few months.

I'm a Business Development Manager with Infoxchange’s Products, Services and Technology team. More specifically, the BDM for Connecting Up’s Donation and Discounts program.

My work involves sourcing generously discounted products for the Connecting Up and TechSoup NZ catalogues. I manage relationships with the tech companies offering us their products. And I help not-for-profits become aware of the great products we provide at minimal cost.

What do I love about it? Making technology affordable for thousands of weird and wonderful not-for-profits to use digital tools to solve problems, save money and be more effective. Our program saves the NFP sector over $20 Million in IT costs every year!

Speaking of weird and wonderful, I also love our Adelaide office family. They’re experienced, accomplished, and always ready to help each other out. It also feels bloody good every time a tech company signs our agreement after we’ve negotiated a large discount for our NFP members.

Infoxchange and the Connecting Up program have tremendous potential to grow and develop, and it’s exciting to be part of this work. Please contact me if you know of a not-for-profit that’s not yet aware of Connecting Up membership and its benefits."

Nice one Rob!
