Australia’s leader in vehicle data and mobility insights, Intelematics, has appointed Robert Finney as its new Chief Product Officer. Finney joins the RACV-owned firm from Mondo Energy where he held the role of Energy Services Product Manager.
The appointment has been made as Intelematics focuses on supporting the next generation of connected and electrified vehicles, which will be adopted by governments, enterprises, and drivers over the next decade in Australia.
As Chief Product Officer, Finney will lead Intelematic’s product team, including responsibility for the strategic development of connected vehicles solutions for the Australian market.
At Mondo, Finney was responsible for the development of renewable and battery storage solutions as well as customer acquisitions for new energy marketplace proofs of concept.
Previously, Finney has held Head of Product roles at Australia Post and during his tenure at Sensis, was responsible for commercial management of major customers such as Garmin. He also had responsibly for product management in areas including portable and mobile navigation and digital mapping.
Finney is the second senior appointment made by Intelematics this year. In February, Anthony Symons was appointed Head of Technology and Data. Symons joined from Optus where he was responsible for leading the development of digital platforms for Optus Enterprise.
Nick Marks, CEO at Intelematics, said: “Over the past twenty years Intelematics has developed an enviable reputation as a leader in mobility solutions. To stay ahead of the curve and bring the most innovative connected vehicle technologies to market, we need to draw on the best talent.
“Robert’s product expertise and business strategy skills have played a pivotal role in embedding best practice, building strategic partnerships, and successfully executing product and commercialisation strategies at some of Australia most high-profile companies,” Marks adds.
Finney, who holds an MBA from University of NSW, will lead an experienced team of product managers. His first priority will include overseeing the launch of Intelematic’s new Mobility as a Service platform, Omniway.
“Australia is on the cusp of an electrified vehicle evolution and I am looking forward to helping Intelematics play an integral role in paving the way for smarter, more connected, forms of travel and transport,” says Finney.
“Over time, connected vehicle technology will help to reduce emissions and make our roads safer. I am excited to be part of a team helping to develop the next wave of products which will have a positive impact on both our roads and lives,” he adds.
