Evan Montero is the co-founder and CEO of DIY Blinds – a fully Australian-made blinds, curtains and shutters’ eServices business. Originally working in the superannuation industry, Evan had a strong entrepreneurial instinct to start his own business. Along with co-founder Liam Dobson, Evan created a disruptive model within the home improvement industry to make it easy for customers to buy high-quality blinds, curtains and shutters online - removing the need for the traditional bricks and mortar showroom space.

Since the launch of DIY Blinds it has been recognised in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 and AFR Fast 100, as well as receiving a $15 million investment from the Australian Business Growth Fund. The business has expanded rapidly, making DIY Blinds one of the fastest-growing blinds and curtains retailers in Australia, with a valuation of $100M+ in less than five years.
