Driving growth in ANZ: David Smith takes on new role at FYLD

FYLD, the premier AI-powered fieldwork execution platform for the heavy civils and utilities industries, continues its global expansion with the appointment of David Smith as Account Director for Australia and New Zealand (ANZ). 

David, who has been an instrumental part of FYLD’s growth over the past 18 months, has relocated from Dublin, Ireland to Sydney, Australia to take on this pivotal role.

David brings a wealth of experience to his new position, having successfully built and led FYLD’s Global Business Development function. He has also previously deployed workforce digital transformation technologies for industry-leading Fortune 500 companies in the CPG and Energy spaces. His strategic vision and leadership have been key in driving the company’s success in the UK, US, and LATAM markets. Now, as Account Director for ANZ, David is set to replicate this success in the dynamic and rapidly growing APAC region.

“I’m thrilled to step into this new role and lead FYLD’s operations in the ANZ region,” says David. “The challenges ahead are exciting, and I’m confident that FYLD’s cutting-edge technology will make a significant impact on the way utilities and construction companies operate here. Our platform, which harnesses AI to provide real-time insights and enhance safety and productivity, is perfectly positioned to meet the unique demands of the ANZ market.”

David’s focus will be on expanding FYLD’s presence across key sectors such as water, energy, and transportation. With significant infrastructure projects underway in Australia, particularly in railway construction, FYLD’s technology is poised to play a crucial role in improving efficiency and safety across the industry.

“David’s appointment as Account Director for ANZ marks a significant milestone in our growth strategy,” says Shelley Copsey, CEO of FYLD. “His success in developing our business in the UK and Ireland has been remarkable, and we are confident that he will bring the same level of expertise and energy to his new role in Australia. We’re excited to see FYLD continue to grow under his leadership.”

David, who relocated to Sydney earlier this month, is eager to engage with clients and stakeholders across the region. Outside of work, he enjoys exploring Sydney’s vibrant culture and outdoor lifestyle, a welcome change from his time in Dublin.
