About Us

From the heart of Sydney, Australia, Conekt Australia embarked on a journey in 2017, fueled by a fervent passion for enhancing workplaces globally. Founded by the visionary duo, Alex Pinkerton and John Blankevoort, who share nearly half a century of industry expertise between them, Conekt Australia emerged as a beacon of workplace innovation and future-ready technologies.

The inception happened in a notable Sydney restaurant on Jan 8, 2017, but the vision had been brewing much longer, evolving from the rich experiences garnered since 2001. Alex, a seasoned technology advisor, and John, a maestro in corporate sales, integrated their strengths, virtues, and values to carve out a unique entity in Conekt Australia. This collaborative spirit stood as the bedrock, allowing them to cater to clients with unmatched loyalty and dedication.

We champion the philosophy of “one supplier, with hundreds of possibilities,” reflecting our vast range of solutions tailored to individual workplace needs. This steadfast commitment has fostered enduring partnerships with industry leaders like UiPath, Microsoft and Konica Minolta, facilitating the creation of industry-driven solutions that resonate profoundly with both our first and continuing clients.

Our distinctive name, Conekt with a ‘k’, mirrors our unique approach to business — always connecting, endlessly innovative. The infinity symbol in our branding showcases the limitless solutions and opportunities we bring to the table, further underscored when we incorporated the globe to signify our expanding global footprint and connectivity beyond Australian shores.

Recognition came swiftly, as we garnered accolades including the Number 1 Konica Minolta Reseller of the Year in 2018 and being distinguished as the 3rd Fastest Growing IT Service Provider in 2019 by CRN FAST50. Our growth trajectory saw us partnering with Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and high-profile multinational corporations, epitomizing the trust and quality Conekt guarantees.

Our company culture, anchored in Agility, Empowerment, Support, and Engagement, drives us to foster a growth mindset and embrace continuous learning. Adherence to a stringent ethics code ensures we wield technology responsibly and sustainably, emphasising self-improvement and aligning personal aspirations with organisational objectives.

Join us as we continue to forge paths untrodden, revolutionising workplaces one individual solution at a time, guided by our unwavering commitment to client success, innovative spirit, and a global perspective that transcends boundaries.
