Privy Appoints New Country Lead and Charts Course for Better Digital Trust Solutions in Australia

Leave a comment
  • Privy extends its reach to Australia, introducing solutions that authenticate agreements, people and businesses to build digital trust.
  • Launch to coincide with Australia’s increase in government spending and expansion of digital ID regulation
  • Privy’s growth plans are bolstered by a recent US$48 million investment, led by leading global investment firm, KKR.

SYDNEY, March 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Privy, a leading digital trust solution provider with a user base exceeding 42 million, has today announced the appointment of Rob Hotchin as its local Country Manager, following the recent launch of its Australia office. Rob’s appointment marks the next phase of the business’s growth, following a USD$48 million investment, led by global investment firm, KKR.

Rob Hotchin Country Manager for Privy Australia

Leveraging his extensive experience and network, Rob will lead Privy’s expansion into the Australian landscape, aiming to launch its digital trust solution to market by H2 2024, while aligning with Australia’s expansion of its regulated digital ID framework.

Rob is a seasoned go-to-market leader with over 15 years of experience, who previously contributed to the growth of global identity solution provider, OKTA.

His appointment, as well as the growth of his team in a Sydney-based office, underscores Privy’s dedication to producing a tailored product that meets the unique needs of Australian individuals and businesses.

Rob Hotchin, Country Manager, Privy Australia, said, “Privy is set to redefine digital trust and help Australians regain control of their most authentic asset, their identity.”

“Currently, Australians are forced to give up their identity and personal data – whether that is to check into a hotel, lease a property, or myriad other reasons – and blindly trust that it will be kept safe. With the advent of seemingly never-ending cyber breaches, and leaking of personal information onto the dark web, Australians should be able to demand more. Now they can, knowing that Privy has solved these challenges before and will look to solve them again in Australia.”

Marshall Pribadi, Co-Founder and CEO of Privy welcomes Rob’s appointment, noting that it marks the critical next step in the business’s international growth plans. “Rob has the skills and ability to build expansive and genuine relationships in Australia, and to support our vision of becoming a global leader in the field of electronic identification and authorisation services.” 

“Over the past eight years, Privy has developed its expertise in shaping and improving the digital identity landscape and engaging with the likes of governments, banks and other financial institutions. Now, Privy aims to contribute its expertise to the Australian market.”

A key piece of the forward-thinking strategy is the newly-established Overseas Sales and Marketing Company, which will report directly to LG CEO William Cho. The company will be led by Thomas Yoon, who previously served as the president and CEO of LG Electronics North America.

The company will not only seek to strengthen executive capabilities in the overseas operations of strategically critical businesses including B2B operations, but also provide necessary support to bolster qualitative growth of all other business units by aiding the development of overseas sales expertise as well as accelerating the advancement of platform-based businesses and innovative D2C business models. The D2C Business Sales Group will take on the role of expanding customer contact points by strengthening Online Brand Shop (OBS) activities and customer data-based digital marketing capabilities.

While maintaining its agile and responsive decision-making system across all four business units, LG will aim to spur further development of original technologies in each business unit and support the company’s business transformation.

The Home Appliance & Air Solution (H&A) Company will establish an engineering sales division under the Air Solution Business to enhance the engineering capabilities to maximize business synergy in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), its core B2B business area. In addition, the Home Beauty Business will be transferred from the Home Entertainment Company to the H&A Company to create synergy with existing strong product lineups in ‘Home’ spaces.

The Home Entertainment (HE) Company is set to further accelerate its transition to become a media and entertainment powerhouse. To strengthen the smart TV operating system webOS, the webOS SW Development Group will be established for direct reporting to Park Hyoung-sei, president of the HE Company. Also, the eXtended Reality (XR) Business Division will be established directly under the headquarters.

Leading the company since 2019, president Park has been promoted in recognition of his contribution to upgrading the company’s business portfolio, improving profitability of premium product lineups and growing the webOS platform while solidifying the company’s position in the global OLED TV market.

The Vehicle component Solutions (VS) Company will set up the Global Customer Strategy Division directly under its headquarters to establish an integrated strategy for order and sales management and strengthen marketing functions to accelerate the growth of the business.

The Business Solutions (BS) Company will expand sales and business operations in major regions such as North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Latin America and Asia.
