1-STOP Connections on Tuesday (14 December) announced its CEO, Michael Bouari, is stepping down for “a break and a new challenge”.
In a statement, the company said, “Michael has led our business over the past 16 years, and we thank him for his contribution over this time and which him all the best for the future”.
Chief product officer Sam Askin will be taking on the role of CEO. The company said Ms Askin brings 15 years of leadership experience in the technology sector to the role with a key focus on data strategies and digital transformation.
Mr Bouari said, “1-Stop Connections has created productivity savings for our customers and community through digitisation and optimisation at a time when traditional paper methods were the norm”.
“I would like to thank our hardworking team and hand over to Sam, whom I have every confidence in. I believe she will lead 1-Stop successfully from this point forward,” Mr Bouari said.
Ms Askin said going forward, the focus will be to continue to build strong partnerships with customers and to work collaboratively to create efficiencies and sustainable growth throughout the supply chain.
“I am honoured to have been chosen by the board as the new CEO of 1-Stop and we look forward to working with the industry to effect positive change and continue on our path of transformation,” Ms Askin said.
1-Stop Connections produces software, such as a vehicle booking system, that helps port communities run smoothly. The company was established in Sydney in 2002.
