Shaune Eldred ~ President & Co-owner

From small startups to large multinationals, Shaune has worked with many businesses in a broad range of industries for more than 25 years. Along the way, she has honed her skills in accounting and finance, internal audit, human resources, administration, and contract development and administration, both at the working level and as a senior executive leading corporate service teams.

Before founding Athene, Shaune was Vice President, Corporate Services, for Minerva Technology until the company's sale in 1998. Following Minerva's sale, she worked with the newly formed company, xwave Solutions, developing standardized human resource and client contracts.

A Certified Simply Accounting Consultant, Shaune attended Mount Royal College and the University of Calgary, majoring in Finance and Economics as well as Education. During her career, she has taken numerous university-level courses in finance, law, management and psychology.

Revett Eldred ~ Secretary, Technology Advisor & Co-owner

A graduate of Harvard Business School's Owner-President Management Program, Revett is highly adept at bridging the worlds of business and technology – a seemingly innate skill that has earned him many distinctions including ‘Calgary Business Person of the Year' honours and a profiling as one of 10 successful immigrants in the Canadian pavilion at the Seville World Fair.

In 1985, Revett founded Minerva Technology Inc. Twice ranked among Canada's 50 fastest-growing businesses, which in 1991 received the Canada Award for Business Excellence – the country's highest award for quality. Microsoft rated Minerva as one of its three best partners worldwide, and the company twice won awards for best computer applications developed using Microsoft products.

Prior to Minerva, Revett had a 20-year career as a programmer, system designer, project manager and line manager. He worked as co-developer of the control software for the world's first automated goldmine, developed numerous business applications, and managed a project that automated and cross-indexed the records of many Canadian museums and libraries. He was a member of the Canadian Computer-Communications Task Force whose report, ‘Branching Out', set the stage for Canadian telecommunications policy for the 1980s and led to the implementation of DataPac – the world's first commercial packet switched digital data network.

As a resource for The Executive Committee, Revett has taught more than 1,000 executives how to plan for effective computing and information management in a small and mid-sized business environment. He was for many years a member of SAIT's Computer Industry Advisory Committee, was the first ‘Entrepreneur In Residence' at Calgary Technologies Inc., and continues to be a regular guest lecturer in the University of Calgary's Haskayne Business School MBA Program.

Kristin joined Athene in 2004 as an intern working toward her CGA designation, which is backed by numerous information technology, finance, and management courses at University of Calgary, SAIT, Mount Royal College and Athabasca University.

Now, with the same passion and enthusiasm, she has taken the helm at Quarry Park.

She has managed several offices and owned a dance studio for several years, turning it from a lagging business into a successful venture.

Nancy managed our One Executive Place centre before moving to Garrison Green to take on the unique challenges of running a larger centre.
