EROAD strengthens its team

EROAD has announced a range of new appointments to complete its leadership investments for the financial year.

EROAD chief executive Steven Newman says a good team is critical for serving customers and managing growth.

“We’ve been very clear about our intention to strengthen the leadership team with increased capabilities for our future growth. We’ve now completed this, with a strong and talented team in place” said Mr Newman.

Former chief operating officer Jarred Clayton is now moving into the role of chief technology officer. The strengthened team gives Clayton more time to focus on delivering innovative platforms for transport operators which is “strategically important”, Newman says.
