Cale, Co-Founder.

Hi, I'm
Cale Donovan.

I co-founded Bare in 2019 with a simple goal: to make arranging a funeral easier, more affordable and more transparent for Australian families. Since then, we've supported tens of thousands of families across Australia and built one of the country's most innovative funeral providers.

Before Bare, I worked across healthcare, technology and operations, and had the opportunity to live and work in Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States. I love building businesses that solve real problems and improve people's lives.

A few things you might not know about me:In a previous life, I operated explosives in underground mines — totally different to funeral care!I religiously have a morning dip in the ocean, regardless of the weather.My favourite pastime is wrangling and wrestling my two young sons, which also happens to be my primary form of exercise.
