New Zealand cloud-based quality assurance platform Conqa recently appointed Nathalie Benzing as its new chair on November 9, 2022.
Conqa co-founder and chief executive Daniel O’Donoghue said the company is excited to have Benzing help take Conqa into its next phase of global growth.
“Nathalie’s extensive international experience in scaling B2B SaaS, and construction-tech – combined with her strategic planning, go-to-market, and operations expertise – makes her a perfect fit to chair our board for this next phase of our journey.”
Founded in Auckland in 2015, Conqa is a construction-tech company that enables subcontractors to deliver quality projects. The company now has a team of more than 50 operating across Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane.
Based in Singapore, Benzing has more than 20 years’ experience scaling and transforming global B2B SaaS businesses in North America, Europe, and Asia. She is currently the COO at Moneythor and previously held positions including global head of mergers and acquisitions integration at Autodesk, COO at Stamped.io and TradeGecko.
Benzing said she was looking forward “to working closely with the leadership team and the board to accelerate Conqa’s growth during this exciting next phase of international expansion. Since meeting the founders in 2020, I’ve been watching their progress in a space I see ripe for disruption and innovation.”
Benzing takes the seat from Conqa’s previous board chair Simon Wilson. O’Donoghue said: “He’s been incredibly valuable in providing our team with a strong industry perspective as well as compassionate leadership.”
Wilson said: “It has been an honour to help Conqa enter the Australian market and navigate Covid-19, among other challenges and opportunities.
“Although my formal role is coming to an end, I will be still supporting the Conqa team informally with advice and aroha.”
