Stephen Becsi – CEO, Apollo Care
Previously, Stephen was the CEO of Appellon Pty Ltd, formerly Pulse Australasia, a Technology start-up that has produced the world’s first Digital SaaS platform that measures, monitors and influences the culture of organisations. The platform is currently being taken to market Globally. Prior to Appellon, Stephen was CEO of the Bethanie Group, one of WA’s largest NFP providers of aged care services, including residential aged care. Under his leadership Bethanie achieved top-tier standards of performance.
Stephen also served as the Director of the Navy’s Strategic Reform Program, part of a Federal Governments Defence Strategic Reform Program initiative to deliver a $20 Billion in operating savings to redirect to Capital spending.
He has a Bachelor of Commerce and a Master in Science (Logistics) and is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Management.
Stephen was winner of the Aged Care Industry most Influential Business Leader of the year 2013 and numerous other awards including Runner up CEO of the Year at the Australian HR Institute. He served as President of Leading Aged Services Australia in Western Australia.
In 2015, Stephen was awarded an OAM for Services to the Aged Care Industry.
He is now the CEO of Apollo Care. Australian aged care has a well thought-through regulation and funding model: Care is government funded and regulated, Infrastructure largely funded by residents with means, largely neutral in respect of provider type. Many smaller providers have not kept pace and are struggling: more demanding consumers, more stringent regulation. Apollo Care sees an industry consolidation opportunity, putting investor funds to work in upgrading property amenity to attract better bonds. For not-for-profit providers, offering a solution that preserves mission and values – allowing them to redeploy scarce funding.

A forum for data driven opportunities
The Executive Data Masterclass is the forum where business leaders can learn techniques that are creating opportunities for organisations to adapt within a changing sector and go beyond to drive a digitally driven, efficient, and sustainable value proposition for their stakeholders. Listening to experts who have successfully navigated the challenges faced by many in the industry will be the first step away from instinct, and toward data driven insight.
