Mark Loveys

Dubbed ‘one of New Zealand’s most successful serial software entrepreneurs’ (NZ Herald 9 March 2011), Mark Loveys was the original developer of Exonet, the innovative and highly successful ERP software suite which is now called MYOB Exo. (Read the full story of how Exonet evolved from its creation at PC Direct in the mid 90s to the product sold today here).

Mark was the former Chairman and co-founder of Datasquirt, an SMS non-voice messaging company listed on the ASX (Australian Stock Exchange), and was acquired by Silicon Valley-based LiveOps Inc in December 2011.

As co-founder and former CEO of NZX-listed Enprise Group, he helped establish the New Zealand-developed EMS-Cortex ‘cloud control panel’ software as a leading international solution in its product niche and was instrumental in the successful sale of EMS-Cortex to Citrix Corporation in February 2011.

A dual citizen of Canada and New Zealand, Mark has been based in Vancouver Canada since April 2019, when Datagate extended its operations to cover the United States and Canada.

Mark holds a BSc in Physics from the University of Auckland.
