Roger Graham
Founder & CEO of Orana Software
A little bit about Roger…
Roger Graham, the founder and visionary of Orana Software, is focussed on innovative and creative software solutions that provide the tools needed to engage and drive your business. Acutely aware of the importance of listening to customers, Roger can engage at both a technology level and business level to help solve unique challenges.
Having started out in the accounting sector, Roger quick created his mark in the software sector and was actively selected to move into and ultimately lead the development of class-leading business software on a world stage. This led to a relocation from South Africa to Australia in early 2000 to grow this business. In 2008 he led the innovation and development behind a leading SaaS product, which was sought out and acquired by a leading Australian listed business in 2018.
Roger’s passion is property and, with wife Karen, have owned numerous short-term rental properties over the years. This latest venture, which operates both in Australia and The United States, allows them to pursue working in an industry he loves, with a major focus on Boutique Hotels and what solutions they can create to complement an already exemplary guest experience. Roger clearly understands that by creating smart tools, it allows you to regain your time to focus on what makes the experience so special for your guest.
On a personal note, Roger and Karen have four children and, when not traveling, he has another passion in boating and sailing, especially on the pristine Sydney Harbor waterways.
