You get inconsistency, and when you have inconsistency, that becomes very costly for leadership. Rob Calvert is the Founder of Second Son Consulting, an IT consultancy he built from his den that’s designing tech ecosystems that co-evolve with a business’ people, workflows, and culture. For 25+ years, Rob has helped leaders turn IT from a cost center into a growth strategy, rooted in one core belief: most tech problems are really culture problems. With his deep field expertise that goes far beyond troubleshooting or quick fixes, he works with businesses – from startups to hybrid teams, and mature companies – to create systems that scale with purpose and impact. He started his firm in the early 2000s after being laid off, and today, has grown it into the largest member of the Apple Consultants Network in LA and among the top 10 nationwide, which works across 15+ industries supporting Apple-first and mixed-device workplaces.
