Donna Hanson

Trainer and speaker

Melbourne, VIC | www.primesolutions.net.au

Donna Hanson is one of Australia's most sought after specialists on the subject of technology training. Her organisation, Prime Solutions, is an in-demand resource for corporate computer training, but she also has a sound understanding of the needs of small business, having successfully operated her own company since 1996.

Added to this extensive experience is Donna's unusual ability to cut through the mysterious and often confusing “computer-speak” that usually accompanies anything to do with IT. Enhanced by her great sense of humour and easy-going manner, Donna communicates information and provides solutions in language that we can all understand and in a way that has lasting impact.

Work smarter, not harder.
