MEDIA RELEASE
TradeWindow reshapes leadership team as it gears for growth
19 April 2022
Auckland, NZ. TradeWindow (NZX: TWL), a leading Australasian trade tech company
headquartered in Takapuna Auckland has, following a review process, announced
the reorganisation of its Senior Leadership Team (SLT) as it ramps up its strategy for
global growth.
The company is very pleased to announce that Dr Guy Kloss, the founding Chief
Information Officer of TradeWindow will assume the responsibilities and job title of
Chief Technology Officer, from Brendan McEnroe who has recently resigned.
Andrew Balgarnie will move from Chief Operating Officer to Chief Revenue Officer,
a new role focused on the commercialisation of products and offshore expansion.
Gavin De Steur will move from Chief Customer Officer to Chief Operations Officer.
Adrian Collier will move from Chief Supply Chain Officer to take on a new role as
Chief Product Officer. Prior to joining TradeWindow in October last year, Adrian was
New Zealand’s Trade Commissioner stationed in Taiwan.
The reorganisation will see the disestablishment of three leadership team roles. These
include:
• Chief Sales Officer (this vacant role has been incorporated into the role of
Chief Revenue Officer in line with current best international practice)
• Chief Customer Officer (to be vacated by Gavin de Steur as he becomes
Chief Operations Officer); and
• Chief Information Officer (to be vacated by Dr Guy Kloss as he assumes the
new role of CTO.)
Any residual duties will be re-assigned across the leadership team.
AJ Smith CEO of TradeWindow said the re-alignment, which is effective immediately,
would equip the business for the next phase of commercial scaling.
“The new responsibilities reflect the experience and strengths of the respective
individuals, and will ensure an efficient structure to drive continuing growth.”
