Summary
Calvin Hoenes is a Melbourne-based founder and product leader with a decade of experience turning complex human-centred visions into tangible products and services. As Co-Founder & Partner at MeshMesh and Managing Director of opentelos, he blends design, technology and facilitation to enable teams to make sense together and pursue more desirable futures. His background spans hands-on design and engineering roles—from CTO and interim Head of Design to Head of Product—giving him a rare ability to move between strategy, product leadership and execution. Calvin focuses on empathy, deep human connection and "design & tech for good," often tackling complexity rather than simplifying it away. Outside titles, he consistently builds tools and practices that help organisations collaborate better and surface richer, more diverse perspectives.
