"Australia has embarked on an ambitious and world leading infrastructure plan that is seeing its major cities and centres transform, with significant investment in public transportation. This is an exciting time and will set the country up for future success, however the process can be painful and inefficient," said Mooven co-founder and CEO Micah Gabriels.

"Nick's experience, energy and deep curiosity make him uniquely placed to help drive new and smarter ways of working."

Walsh, who is based in New South Wales and will be responsible for the eastern states, joins Mooven after working as sales manager at Deferit.

He previously held sales and business development roles at Hubster, eBev, Lightspeed (formerly Kounta) and Uber.

"More often than not, the cars we drive in today boast the latest user technologies and have been purpose built in factories backed by data and analytics for smarter operations. But the roads and infrastructure our lives run on hasn't been as quick to realise the benefits of smarter tech," said Walsh.

"Mooven works closely with all the parties involved in roading and public transport, and we're primed to help them evangelise technology, bringing the right data closer to decision makers to leap ahead and change the economics of how projects are delivered."

Mooven recently hired Auckland-based principal engineer Marina Goldburt and Auckland-based product design lead Gavin Cammell.
