Good to see the founder of Worksite, which was acquired by Aconex in 2015, and which was a precursor of Connected Cost, strengthening the team in the US, and also another important promotion in Melbourne.
I actually like the fact that they are currently expanding the management team and strengthening their capacity for growth. This approach will obviously attract talent.
