"Wiise is well positioned to become a truly world-leading cloud ERP provider over the coming year, and we will no doubt achieve our vision with a seasoned business leader like Stephen McNulty as COO," said Wiise CEO Charlie Wood.

"The ever-increasing demand for smart cloud ERP solutions from Australia's SMBs is fuelling Wiise's rapid growth, and we need the brightest and most experienced talent to help us continue to meet and exceed demand.

"Renowned for his exceptional leadership and hands-on experience growing some of the world's most recognisable technology brands, Stephen is uniquely qualified for this role and makes a tremendous addition to the team."

McNulty brings nearly 25 years' experience to Wiise.

He joins the company from Haventec, where he served as chief growth officer.

McNulty previously worked for Apple as ANZ enterprise country manager after spending more than a decade with Avanade, most recently as executive head of sales.

Early in his career he worked as a consultant at Accenture.

McNulty holds a master's degree in electrical and electronic engineering from Queen's University Belfast.

"Wiise is one of Australia's most exciting tech startups and I am thrilled to be joining the company as COO. I've always enjoyed working with small and medium businesses and look forward to continuing to provide them with the technology they need to transform their operations, accelerate growth, and achieve success," he said.

"Our partners are integral to our continued success, so it's important for Wiise as a scale-up business to build capacity and excellence into the channel. One of my key areas of focus will be to enable our channel partners to grow with us, and I look forward to announcing the details of our new partner program that will facilitate further partner growth in 2023."
