our team

Kate has been in the Salesforce Eco-System for the past 6 years and also has 10+ years of customer service experience across many different sectors.

She started with Salesforce as an in-house admin, then studying and freelancing as an Admin & Consultant. Kate then went on to form Ao Collaboration in a desire to help the SMB sector in making sure that Salesforce is working with their businesses processes. She found that too often SMBs were left to the side in pursuit of larger projects and, with a passion to help, wanted to create a space that could listen and serve our smaller clients needs.

Outside of work, Kate loves spending time with her family, and encouraging her kids on their individual paths. Thanks to the Lockdowns of 2020, indoor plants and Animal Crossing have also become fixtures in her life.

Michael is a software engineer with over a decade of experience across a broad range of enterprise applications.

Growing up Michael always knew he wanted to work with computers. He followed that passion through schooling and graduated University with an Honours degree in Engineering.

Entering the workforce, Michael had a plan to try out all areas of software development - front end, back end, architecture, you name it - in the hopes he would discover a niche. What he learnt over that time was that he most enjoyed the feeling of delivering value to customers no matter what that involved.

Outside of work, Michael spends his time tinkering with new and emerging technologies. Having recently discovered blockchain development, he is working on creating integrations with prominent DAOs in the field.
