Trev Weir: Championing Innovation, Mental Health Advocacy, and People-Centric Leadership at Prometix

When it comes to innovation in the technology space, Trev Weir stands out not just for his deep expertise with Microsoft technologies, but for his heart-centred approach to leadership. As a client executive and a driving force at Prometix, Trev has led the charge in delivering cutting-edge solutions, from building intuitive business applications to implementing complex systems. But those who know him will tell you that his true strength lies in his genuine care for the people he works with and his passion for making technology inclusive for everyone.

Trev’s career spans more than a decade, and his work has been instrumental in shaping Prometix into the leading Microsoft solutions provider it is today. From spearheading Power Platform Centres of Excellence to developing innovative solutions, Trev’s leadership has consistently showcased one thing: technology that empowers, built with people in mind.

Bringing His Personal Story to His Work

Trev’s story is one of resilience and transformation, both personally and professionally. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2017, he has been open about how that moment shaped his life and career. Before the diagnosis, he found himself in a cycle of intense busyness followed by deep lows—a pattern that affected both his work and personal life. Receiving a diagnosis allowed Trev to gain the clarity he needed to develop a management program that has since led him to thrive in both areas.

This lived experience with mental health challenges has not only made Trev a more compassionate leader but also an advocate for creating more accommodating work environments for others. He is a strong proponent of seeing beyond labels or perceived disabilities, focusing instead on empowering individuals to perform at their best—something he practices daily at Prometix. Whether it’s through his advocacy for mental health support or his push for inclusive workplace practices, Trev continually looks for ways to ensure that no one is left behind.

A Passion for Inclusion: Neurodiversity and Technology

Trev’s commitment to inclusivity doesn’t end with mental health; he’s also an advocate for neurodiverse individuals in the workplace. He believes that technology—particularly adaptive tools like Microsoft Copilot—has the power to level the playing field for neurodiverse employees. Trev’s vision is to use these tools not just for productivity improvements but to instil confidence, enabling individuals to thrive in environments that may otherwise be challenging.

This passion for inclusion is reflected in his ongoing efforts to create projects designed to leverage Microsoft’s tech stack to support neurodiverse individuals in the workplace. For Trev, this is more than just work—it’s part of his personal mission to create workplaces where everyone, regardless of their neurodiversity, can contribute and succeed.

The People-First Leader Behind Prometix

At Prometix, Trev’s leadership philosophy is simple but powerful: put people first, always. Whether he’s leading his teams, working with partners, or mentoring younger staff, Trev prioritises relationships and open communication. He’s a strong believer in fostering trust and mutual respect, ensuring that every project isn’t just about delivering technology but about delivering a positive experience for everyone involved.

Prometix, under Trev’s guidance, has become known not just for its technical expertise but for its people-centric approach. Trev and his team are particularly known for easing early project tension—consciously focusing on building rapport and understanding between project teams rather than rushing through the early stages. This approach has helped Prometix foster long-term, trusted relationships, many of which are built on the strong foundation of personal connection and empathy.

Beyond the Office: A Life Filled with Footy, Games, and Advocacy

When Trev isn’t leading his team at Prometix or pushing the boundaries of inclusive technology, you’ll find him indulging in some of his favourite pastimes. A die-hard Cronulla Sharks supporter, Trev is a passionate NRL fan who never misses a game when his team is playing. He also enjoys board games and video games, often spending time with family and friends strategizing over his next move in his favourite games.

Trev’s personal life also reflects his commitment to advocacy for mental health and disability inclusion. His passion for creating more inclusive spaces for individuals with disabilities and mental health challenges runs deep. Whether it’s raising awareness, sharing knowledge, or making a difference in his community, Trev’s personal values align seamlessly with his professional mission.

Trev’s love for his community and his support for mental health and disability causes are core to his life. Whether he’s sharing a laugh with colleagues about footy, enjoying a quiet meal with his wife, or advocating for workplace changes that improve the lives of neurodiverse employees, Trev brings the same level of commitment, empathy, and passion to everything he does.

Looking Ahead: Empowering the Future of Innovation

As Prometix continues to grow and evolve, Trev’s vision remains focused: leveraging the power of Microsoft’s tech stack to create solutions that make a difference in people’s lives. Whether through AI-driven automation, low-code development with Power Platform, or mentoring citizen developers, Trev’s mission is to ensure that technology serves people—not the other way around.

For Trev, the future isn’t just about the next big technical innovation—it’s about ensuring that technology continues to empower individuals, create inclusive work environments, and build better relationships. In a world that often prioritises speed and output, Trev remains steadfast in his belief that putting people first is the real key to lasting success.
