Meet Walt Ely, who recently transitioned into a new role as our Chief Client Officer. Walt is a hardworking leader, responsible for ensuring that the promises made to the client are delivered. With over 30 years of IT experience, he delivers a calm attitude and empathy to the customers to ensure productivity is at its best.
“When a client needs something or wants to discuss a problem, it is vital that they have a dedicated resource to go to and convey their concern. Too many companies rely on an automated system for this type of communication, which is not the relationship we want with our clients. I want them to know that they have a dedicated resource to reach out to for anything that they need.”

Who inspires you?
I am inspired by a close friend of mine who was nearly killed in a motorcycle accident. With only a 2% chance of living, he pulled through. Although he has some physical limitations, he never complains of the constant pain or his circumstances. When I think things are not going well in my life, he inspires me to be thankful for what I have and appreciate my blessings. It helps to keep things in perspective.
How do you spend your free time?
I like to spend my free time working out and coaching CrossFit classes. In addition to this I enjoy fishing, hunting, riding motorcycles, and any activity that gets me outdoors.
What do you love most about Calyx?
I truly enjoy working with the people at Calyx and helping our customers achieve their business goals. As a previous business owner, I know the stresses and hurdles that business owners face each day and I feel that helps me relate to them and share my experiences to help them.
