CEO & Founder
I started TidyHQ because I saw how much time volunteers waste on admin that should be simple. Clubs and associations do incredible work — they just shouldn't need a finance degree and three spreadsheets to do it.
I'm the CEO and founder, which at a company our size means I'm also the person you'll probably talk to if you jump on a demo call. I lead sales, marketing, and operations, and I stay close to every part of the product because the details matter when you're building for people who are giving up their weekends to run things.
We're a small team based around Australia, and we've been bootstrapped from day one. We haven’t raised venture capital. So we don’t have pressure to chase metrics that don't help our customers. That means every decision we make is about whether it actually makes your organisation easier to run.
TidyHQ now serves thousands of organisations around the world, and we're still just getting started.
