TEDxQueenstownOrganizing Committee
Nov. 2012 - Jan. 2014Queenstown, New ZealandWhat is TEDxQueenstown? The essence of Queenstown is an environment greater than the sum of its parts. Known as the adventure capital of the world and the home to some of the most amazing scenery in the Southern Hemisphere – Queenstown is also the home to entrepeneurs, risk takers and dreamers. Join us on: https://twitter.com/TEDxQueenstown https://www.facebook.com/TEDxQueenstown About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.) About TED TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 26 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. At TED, the world’s leading thinkers and doers are asked to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Benoit Mandelbrot, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

FOUNDER – CEO
WORKFLOW SOLUTIONS – RENTLOGICSFOUNDER – CEO
Feb. 2012 - Nov. 2016Queenstown, Otago, New ZealandWorkflow Solutions Developed a full resort management (ERP) for the ski industry, combining several technologies such as RFID, IA Imaging, Mobile devices and cutting edge Cloubased software to provide a unique experience for both internal and external customers. Formed in 2012, Workflow Solutions is a result of a collaboration between a number of entities, the main ones being Jose Ganga and Browns Ski Shop. We did not consider the business a software development company but a business performance enabler instead. As such, any software development company can write a software solution for the ski industry, but only a few will have a view from within, to understand the operational challenges and pains and users’ expectations. Rentlogics reversed engineered what guests and winter businesses look for on a winter holidays experience and have built an operational solution that works for all involved. Our design concept and view of how the Snowsports Industry of the future should look has been developed from the end-user’s perspective. From giving the most comprehensive and simple tools to staff to creating a world class experience for the guest whilst gathering as much information as possible for BI purposes, with minimal disruption. Rentlogics developed several mobile apps to support different business units of the resorts as well as design and developed several hardware equipment such as automated ski gates using RFID ( NFC and UHF) and Imaging AI as well as smart benches for ski rental workflow.
