"2021 saw Delegate Connect transform. We have more than quadrupled staff numbers to meet the growing demand for our services, especially from overseas and raised $10 million seed in funding to underpin our rapid expansion. To ensure we continue with the rapid product development and global expansion, we needed to bring in exceptional talent to fill key roles and we couldn't be more excited to have James and Chris join us," said Delegate Connect co-founder and CEO Jordan Walsh.
"When making these hires, we have deliberately looked for leaders with experience growing digital and customer-focused solutions to fill positions in our Melbourne, London and Norway offices, as well as in the US where we are expanding now."
Davies brings more than 20 years of experience to Delegate Connect.
