Optibus, a global technology company providing a software platform for optimizing public transportation networks, is pleased to announce the appointment of Simon Peace to the post of Chief Revenue Officer (CRO).

Simon brings to Optibus more than twenty years of experience in the technology and software-as-a-service (SaaS) sectors. He has held C-suite positions, including CEO, CRO, and COO, at a range of companies from start-ups to multinational corporations with hundreds of millions in revenue and led Global Operations teams in EMEA, the US, Latin America, and Asia Pacific, supporting all go-to-market functions including sales, pre-sales, engineering, customer success, marketing, and more. This background has given Simon a deep understanding of various approaches to unlocking business growth and shareholder value. Previously, Simon held senior leadership roles in the United Kingdom and United States at Netwrix, Nearmap, SMARSH, and Quest Software.

As the head of Optibus’ global revenue organization, Simon will lead the development and implementation of strategies for robust commercial growth and revenue efficiency while staying true to Optibus’ commitment to build an impact-driven company with a triple bottom line of people, planet, and profit. 

“We are thrilled to welcome Simon Pearce to Optibus as the leader of our revenue organization. His appointment will support Optibus as it continues to scale sustainably and efficiently around the world, ensuring the commercial viability needed to provide greater access to cutting-edge transportation technologies,” said Optibus CEO and co-founder Amos Haggiag.

“It is critical that the world moves towards more effective and efficient public transportation systems to support both smart cities and rural communities and connect people to their destination while protecting the environment. Optibus is the modern, cloud-native solution making this a reality. I joined Optibus to help drive this agenda forward and to work with some of the smartest, most determined people I have met in the industry,” said Simon.
