Ross is an Australian entrepreneur focused on developing innovative technology solutions for businesses and organisations. He has extensive experience in the tech industry and is passionate about creating products that make people’s lives easier.

Ross has always been passionate about tech – while Bezos was busy starting Amazon in his garage, Ross was programming bots to play computer games for him so he could beat his high-school mates. While he eventually grew out of that phase, it did leave him with an appreciation and passion for automation that motivated him to launch first Devhouse in 2005, then IT House in 2008 and eventually co-found House Digital in 2018.

Ross also loves to bring ideas to life – which includes everything from developing software, building furniture in his woodworking shop, creating 3D printed models, growing plants or whipping up a culinary storm for friends and family. If he can make it, grow it or cook it, he’s probably tried it!

Candice Grobler is the founder of Candid Collab, a systems-savvy community consultancy helping solo founders and stretched teams build community-led marketing engines that scale revenue.

After a CPTSD diagnosis and a “you’re unemployable” jab from a well-meaning manager, Candice left the cubicle grind to forge a new model: one where neuro-spicy, outside-the-norm entrepreneurs could thrive through mentorship, scrappy systems, and candid community.

Today, she’s a sought-after mentor and speaker known for transforming sticky-note chaos into streamlined workflows and turning feast-or-famine floundering into steady, soul-aligned revenue. Her live talks, workshops, and interviews blend radical candour with practical playbooks, because life’s too short to build someone else’s empire (or burn out building your own).

Candice has helped dozens of founders grow recurring revenue, reduce burnout, and build communities that market for them, without agency retainers, bro-marketing gloss, or a selling out.

As a Principal Architect Azure at Nordcloud, I lead the development of advanced, optimized cloud solutions, primarily leveraging the Microsoft Azure platform. My core focus is empowering clients through their digital transformation journey, helping them maximize business potential and operational efficiency by designing highly optimized architectures.

My expertise and dedication to the community have been repeatedly recognized by Microsoft with the prestigious MVP (Most Valuable Professional) and MCT (Microsoft Certified Trainer) titles. Although I currently focus on architecture, I previously spent many years sharing my proprietary knowledge by conducting postgraduate courses at Polish universities.

Driven by a passion for promoting new technological solutions, I actively engage with the IT community: I organize specialized Azure workshops, speak as a presenter at conferences and meetups, and run my technical blog, https://justcloud.pl.
