Technology expert, Chris Gibbs has been named the new CEO of Australian technology SaaS provider, triSearch after former CEO, Taylah Allen, announced her intention to pursue other career opportunities overseas.
Mr Gibbs brings more than three decades of strategic leadership experience in Sales and Marketing Strategy, Software-as-a-Service, and Cloud Computing Services within telecommunications, banking and finance, retail and more.
A proven career transforming small, medium, and large enterprises into highly successful businesses makes Mr Gibbs perfect for leading triSearch into its next stage of growth in the Australian property law and conveyancing industry.
“There’s a unique opportunity to transform an Australian company with tremendous potential domestically and internationally,” he said.
“Throughout my years in leadership I’ve learned that if you have a group of people who believe they can make a difference and are passionate about where they work, anything is possible. So, this is an opportunity of a lifetime for me.”
Excited for the new challenge, Mr Gibbs is looking forward to steering triSearch into its next phase of “hypergrowth”.
“A thrilling opportunity now sits in front of me. Our team at triSearch have the chance to make a big difference and there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be able to see an opportunity for hypergrowth in our business here in Australia,” Mr Gibbs said.
Mr Gibbs most recently filled the position of Australian, New Zealand Managing Director of content delivery network, cybersecurity, and cloud service company, Akamai Technologies.
He said while it was difficult to leave, it was a necessary decision to achieve the next step in his career.
“Akamai Technologies is a great company with a great set of people and great customers,” he explained.
“I look forward to using the culmination of many years of working with technology businesses and being fortunate to grow with some of the biggest brands, inspirational teams and fantastic customers, to build something incredible at triSearch.”
