Billy is an experienced leader and transformation specialist with a career spanning over 20 years across the technology, startup, private and listed company sector.

Billy was most recently CEO of marketplace business Oneflare. Oneflare saw a threefold growth in revenues before being sold to Airtasker (ASX:ART) late in 2022.

Billy will commence as CEO from 13 November 2023 replacing interim CEO, Tony Karp.

Skyfii Chair, Bob Alexander commented: “Skyfii conducted an extensive search for our next CEO and we were encouraged by the calibre and experience of the candidates. Billy displays the leadership and transformation skills that we believe will allow Skyfii to unlock the latent growth potential we see in our business via the execution of our strategic initiatives and the streamlining of our cost profile.

Billy brings a wealth of experience to Skyfii through his successful career in leading global technology companies as well as a range of startups and growth focussed companies. I am exceptionally positive about Billy’s potential to lead Skyfii successfully through its next stage of growth.

On behalf of the board, I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Tony Karp during his interim CEO tenure and what he has been able to achieve in that time. We wish him well for the future.”

Billy Tucker, incoming CEO of Skyfii said: “Skyfii presents an exciting opportunity, and it is a privilege to be appointed CEO of the Company.

With industry leading LiDAR technology, a dominant position in the airport vertical and a truly global presence, Skyfii has a robust platform for significant growth. I am looking forward to utilising my skills honed across two decades of experience in the technology sector to drive global growth and deliver Skyfii into a position of meaningful and sustainable cash flow generation.”
