Tech innovation company Tigerspike appoints Australian based Global CEO as it prepares for next phase of growth


Tigerspike, global enterprise software and user experience technology company, has announced the appointment of Alex Burke as its Global CEO.  Previously Tigerspike’s Asia Pacific CEO, Burke will centralise and coordinate operations across the eight Tigerspike offices.  Working from Tigespike’s Sydney office, Burke will bring global efficiencies and amplify local insights and development capabilities, as well as enabling Tigerspike to continue its pioneering work in delivery of adaptive, lean and innovative technology, with excellence in user experience.

Luke Janssen, founder and former CEO commented: “As technology is evolving so is our business and we need to be culturally aligned to help our customers navigate these challenging times.  Our vision is to use technology to improve people's lives and my move to executive chairman will allow me to be more strategic with our growth, while enabling Alex to drive our global business vision forward.”

Alex Burke states “A mobile first strategic framework is becoming the imperative and Tigerspike, like our customers, needs to adapt and be flexible in this environment. I want to ensure we are leveraging every opportunity across the business and propelling our customers forward to overcome the challenges of change. It’s an exciting time to be part of such an industry.

“There is no doubt that a mobile first approach is challenging business to re think strategy. Technology is now driving initiatives to have flexibility, consistency and enable continuous transformation.  Without a strong strategic approach these developments can cause confusion and wasted investment in platforms and technology that are not intuitive or driving efficiencies and lowering costs,” said Burke.

Phoenix, Tigerspike’s software platform, enables businesses to focus on the front end user experience rather than worrying about the back end integrations.  It allows technology advancements to integrate into everyday ways of working, ensuring businesses remain ahead of the curve. This helps business focus on leaner, efficient, more focused and consistent operations which are future-proofed for change.
