Startup: NZ-founded business Partly creates new CSO role and appoints Tony Austin to the job as its business expands with aims to go global.
NEW ZEALAND-founded startup parts business Partly is poised to go global and take on the $1.9-trillion auto parts industry.
As part of its expansion (on the back of a $3.8 million capital raising last year), Partly has appointed New Zealander Tony Austin in its newly created role of chief strategy officer.
Key focuses of this role include spearheading the business strategy, cultivating rapid growth and global scale, and helping to upskill and mentor the Partly team. He will also take on the title of co-founder, being one of Partly’s founding investors back in 2020.
