Meet SA Woman Member, Sevva Nelson.
Business/Organisation: IRIS IT
Job Role: Managing Director
Tell us a bit about you:
I am an entrepreneur, an IT professional, a project and operations manager, and a mother-of-two.
I run IRIS IT, an IT solution provider supporting enterprises throughout South Australia.
I was introduced to computers while working at an accounting firm in Melbourne in the 1980s; programming quickly became an area of my interest and occupation.
Returning to my hometown of Adelaide, I became a trainer in IT systems before moving on to account and project management roles with software development companies and computer wholesalers, including Sybiz Software, where I was promoted to executive director.
After an extensive foray into the food industry establishing a pretzel wholesale and franchise business, I returned to my IT roots, taking on various project management roles, before buying IRIS IT (formerly Compunets). I rebranded the business in 2019 and am now spearheading a growth phase for the company.
An active committee member and networker, I am part of local networks including SA Woman, HerTech Path and SA Business Chamber.

Let’s get to know you a little more:
What has been a lesson you learnt in your career or business that has stayed with you?
If you do start a business, make sure you do it for the right reasons and with all your heart. There will be highs and there will be lows – count on that, it’s a given. If your venture fails, think about the experiences and lessons gained that you would not otherwise have had and finally keep going, never give up.
What is your favourite place in South Australia to visit?
My absolute favourite place to just breathe and relax is the beach. It doesn’t matter which beach whether its summer or winter, they both have their beauty, provided I can see the ocean, hear the ocean, be in it or not, for me this is serenity.
Why is being part of SA Woman important to you?
Being part of SA Woman connects me with a supportive network of like-minded women. It’s a space to learn, collaborate, and celebrate the achievements of women in business while contributing to a stronger community
