Your Team

We are Innovators, Creators and Doers whose vision is to translate tech, simply.

Meet Our Leadership Team

Alissa

Alissa

Alissa is the CEO of Texcel, taking over from the founder Bruce McKenzie who will remain with Texcel as an advisor. Alissa comes to Texcel from a background of financial services, including spending the last four years establishing and growing a small business fintech. In her last role Alissa was integral to developing the technology stack that allowed small businesses to gain access to credit within a few minutes, using real time data services to rapidly assess risk and dynamically assign pricing and repayment strategies. It is this experience that will help Texcel leverage its vast data collection capability and provide its clients with real time information on the environmental data from their projects. In her spare time, Alissa is also a manager of her two daughters’ Netball teams, an active member of her daughter’s swimming support group and a proud supporter of her son’s basketball team. Alissa enjoys watching a movie to wind down, and finds it a major accomplishment if she gets to the end of the movie these days!

Mark

Mark

Mark, who has been with us for over 15 years, is responsible for all operational activities – he’s the guy with his magic wand who makes it all happen. Mark works hard, cares lots and loves to create great outcomes. With his extensive experience not only with our instrumentation and services but also with our clients, he is our go-to man. For good measure, Mark has been both the Treasurer and the President for the Australian Chapter of the International Society of Explosive Engineers (ISEE) and is on the Board of the international society. Mark is also heavily involved with junior basketball.

Navin

Navin

Navin is our Senior Technician and has been with us for over 14 years. Navin is a perfectionist and a work horse. Navin is primarily responsible for manufacturing, calibrating, and servicing of the instrumentation for our valued clients. Navin sets the bar high with his impeccable work standards. Navin is by far the quietest member of our team and a huge support for everyone.

Andrew

Andrew

Andrew is our in-house Mr. Wizard, and has been so for over 30 years. He’s intimately familiar with every piece of hardware, firmware and software we have ever produced and still holds a great deal of drive and passion. So much so, he has started work on our next generation systems. Andrew’s passion and capability gives Texcel some unique opportunities that other businesses like ours simply don’t have. We can truly customise our offer to meet the needs of our clients. Andrew also supports tech development in his local community of Maleny.

Richard

Richard

Richard is our IT Guru and has been with us for over 8 years. In addition to his “guruing”, Richard is capable of jumping in to the day to day operations helping out with manufacturing, calibrating, and creating solutions wrapped in some technical wizardry should we need additional hands on deck. His “geeking” creates another very diverse team player. Being a passionate motorbike enthusiast, Richard is a Director of #ridesafely4me (a charity aiming to improve rider safety), as well managing a motorcycle riding social group called Aussie Riders.

Mahan

Mahan

Mahan has joined the team as our newest Electrical Engineer. He has a master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Queensland. Mahan has extensive experience in power electronics, electromagnetics, communication, and Solar PV technologies. Recently, he was involved in developing a novel non-invasive bionic ear for people with severe hearing loss. Mahan’s previous research experiences position him for success in his role as an Electrical Engineer in our R&D team. Mahan is another of our motorcycling enthusiasts and never says no to any sports.

Nick

Nick

Nick is our resident hillbilly from West Virginia and has been a part of the Texcel team for over 7 years. He works across several areas with a focus on sales, marketing, and business strategy. It will come as no surprise when you meet Nick that he operates as the point man for the Texcel business, partnering with our clients through his unique collaborative, passionate, creative, fun loving manner. While he does ensure we maintain our high standards, Nick has a wonderful zest for life, freely, and passionately communicating this to all.

Alex

Alex

Alex is our resident Field Service Engineer and a recent addition to the team. Affable, approachable and enthusiastic, he can be found in office or travelling throughout Australia forging stronger connections with our clients. A recent Engineering graduate, he is applying his tenacity and focus to acquire a deep understanding of our technology, systems, calibration processes, production, servicing and how we can be more helpful to our clients. He is a long-term student of the Guitar, a proud Lancastrian, a lover of sports and has a natural passion for learning.
