Our Team

Rob Kalemba - Concept King

Rob had an idea many years ago about creating a local business network and hosting catch-ups & events that were different. Remove all the cliche negatives that can come with some networking experiences and create an environment where people can truly connect, feel comfortable and get to know the person they are speaking with. Build trust, build strong relationships & ultimately help others in the community.

Rob started Adelaide Word of Mouth with this in mind back some 15 years ago wanting networking to be fun and friendly and approachable.

A sales director with 25+ years of experience across a range of industries, the driver of the AWOM concept, he just enjoys helping others make positive connections in life & business.

Josh joined AWOM just like everyone else and has been critical in amplifying AWOM.
