NOVATECH CREATIVE EVENT TECHNOLOGY - Key Persons

Leko and his brother Milenko established Novatech in 2001. They've been "steering the ship" ever since. Leko is an active leader who inspires everyone on the team to do their best and works closely with clients to deliver world-class events. In more than 19 years of business, there have been many memorable moments. It's difficult to pinpoint one. "A highlight was getting to celebrate Novatech' s 10 th year of business," he says. "A close affair with good clients, suppliers and friends made me thankful for what we have achieved. I look forward to the 20 th anniversary." When he's not playing the role of MD, Leko loves spending time with his family, is a passionate sport fan, and loves a wide variety of music. "I've got a weird iTunes account."

Matthew is good with numbers. It's a good thing, too. He is in charge of the management of financial operations. Previous to his time at Novatech he had 15 years of experience in the public sector. Matthew enjoys the human interaction element of his role. "Numbers generally don't talk back to you, but engaging with people and using financial analysis as a platform for communication and sound decision making allows me to earn my stripes as a Novatech team member." When he's not crunching digits, you'll find him on a bike. "I am a dedicated cycling ‘weekend warrior' and often lay claim to the ‘hairiest legs in Lycra on Mt Lofty'." He is also an obsessive curator of the backyard footy field and cricket pitch. "I even begrudgingly enjoy the coldest of days when I am picked to run out against the Crows in the weekend backyard footy match."
