Wayne’s Bio

Wayne Small has been involved in the IT Industry for over 30 years, starting with Computer hardware design at the age of 9 and then progressing to running his own computer repair business at the age of 12.  He has held various roles over that time from Technical Support through to Account Management and Marketing Support.  His focus is traditionally on the Small to Medium Business sector with some exposure to the corporate world as well. 

In 1997 Wayne started Sydney based SMB IT Consulting Company called Correct Solutions.  He grew the company over the years to an 8 strong team with multi-million dollar revenues.  In 2005, Wayne merged Correct Solutions with two other companies to bring greater strength to the organisation.  The combined organisation grew to 12 staff with two offices in Sydney and is one of the most respected SMB IT Resellers in Australia.  In late 2006, Wayne stepped back in Correct Solutions and handed over the reins to Ryan Spillane.  Wayne’s focus now is on training, presenting and writing on both technical and business topics for the SMB IT Professional and Reseller. He also provides consulting services to SMB IT Professionals and vendors to help them get more out of their business at a technical and business level.

Wayne is a highly acclaimed international speaker and has presented at numerous events since 2000, including TechEd Australia, Microsoft Partner events both in Australia and in the USA and SMBNation.  He has been involved in the SMB IT Pro community since 1998 and has been awarded a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional award for Small Business Server since 2002.  In 2007, CRN Australia Magazine inducted Wayne into the CRN Hall of Fame for his community efforts, joining the likes of Bill Gates and other leading IT Industry personnel.  Wayne is also involved in a number of advisory groups helping vendors and distributors better understand the needs of the SMB IT reseller.
