After raising $150 million, partnership management platform Impact has started its hiring spree, adding four senior hires to its APAC team.

What you need to know:

Partnerships management platform Impact has added four people to its senior roster following a $150m funding round in July.
But the real ramp up starts next year, when the firm plans to double its 50-strong footprint.

Partnership management platform Impact has added four people to its Australia-Pacific team, off the back of a $150 million funding round in July.

The software-as-a-service platform’s APAC team has grown from four in 2018 to more than 50 in 2021, working with brands like Canva, Booktopia, Big Red Group, Decathlon, David Jones and Westpac.

Helen Barroso Zarco has been appointed Customer Success Director, while Alex Randall, Georgia Boward and Catheline Lin have joined as Enterprise Account Executives.

In July, Impact raised $150 million and said it would look to double its Australian and New Zealand team within the next year. It was then valued at $1.5 billion after investment led by the Qatar Investment Authority.

The new hires will be based in Sydney – but have joined remotely due to Covid. Impact plans a major ramp up next year, aiming to double its 50-strong team.
