The appointment marks a transformative period for HammerTech and follows the US $70 million growth investment led by private equity firm, Riverwood Capital.

Joining from environmental intelligence firm Envirosuite, and previously having worked with Aconex through the Oracle acquisition, Andrew is primed to bring his global construction tech expertise to further product research and investment, and integrate even more transformative tech.

Having successfully scaled SaaS businesses in markets mirroring ours, he joins our product team – set to treble in size – with a deep understanding of diverse construction environments and the stakeholder requirements needed to optimize jobsite workflows.

Ben Leach, CEO, HammerTech, said, “Fresh on the back of our investment from Riverwood Capital, Andrew joins us with deep experience in construction technology and product leadership. Humble, driven and deeply committed to advancing construction safety, he embodies our values of unity, authenticity and innovation. We are very excited about the opportunities that lie ahead with Andrew at the helm of our product team.”

Andrew Barron added, “I am very excited to join the incredible HammerTech team, helping to accelerate even more of the platform’s global potential as it heads into its latest chapter of scale and innovation.

“With experience in rapidly scaling global companies, building world-class product teams and construction tech platforms in both the public and private sector, I feel incredibly aligned to the HammerTech strategy and look forward to what we will accomplish as a team.”
