Speaking about the appointment, EROAD Co-CEO Mark Heine says, “We are delighted to appoint Duanne into the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) role. Duanne is a highly experienced CTO accustomed to working with successful New Zealand technology businesses who’ve expanded globally. His track record of enhancing world-class technology platforms to support a diverse and growing customer base aligns very well with EROAD’s strategic growth ambitions.

Duanne is excited to be joining the EROAD team and says, “I’m very attracted to working with product and technology-based organisations with global ambitions. EROAD is an iconic and ambitious Kiwi business and I’m looking forward to working with such an innovative team.”

“I’m particularly excited by the potential application of emerging technologies such as AI to opportunities in transport sustainability and road user charging, as well as to the core telematics sector in which EROAD is a proven market leader and innovator. Together we can help navigate the challenges facing the global transport industry today and pioneer intelligent solutions to deliver a better future.”

Duanne has previously held senior technology roles with a series of leading New Zealand tech or SaaS businesses, most recently as the CTO for corporate travel technology business Serko (NZX/ASX: SKO), and prior to that the likes of Plexure (NZX:PX1) and Loyalty New Zealand.
