Timely appoints CCO, Paul Shingles

It’s been a real highlight for me recruiting Paul Shingles into this Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) role. I got to meet some bloody amazing people and was humbled by the calibre of folks that were interested in coming on board. We couldn’t have asked for a better fit with Paul. We’ve built a product that people love, there’s no doubt about that. But it’s a big world out there and there’s lots of salons, spas and other small businesses that need Timely!  Paul brings a real depth of experience around that global expansion and all of the opportunities and challenges it will bring us here at Timely. We’ve made a great start in our first few years as a company, but are super excited to keep hitting new heights (like our recent win at the NZ Hi-Tech awards).

Paul comes to us looking for his next challenge after an amazing stint at Kiwi software startup Pushpay. Hi-Tech Company of the Year for 2017, Pushpay delivers mobile commerce and engagement tools to the US Faith sector. A key member of the exec team, Paul was responsible for scaling Pushpay through a period of hyper growth. He oversaw global operations, led the product development team, and developed overall product strategy. Paul and I both believe this experience will be invaluable for Timely and our customers in the years to come.

“My experience at Pushpay has given me a unique perspective into the challenges of hyper growth and I’m looking to direct that experience into developing a world class sales, support and customer success function at Timely.”

The Timely team is thrilled with the appointment of such a high calibre candidate. It’s another sign that we’re maturing as a company that we can attract someone like Paul to the crew.

“I’m super excited to be joining Timely and contributing to their next phase of success. Timely have already been incredibly successful to date, and I feel as if I’m joining an already winning team.”

To say hi and welcome Paul to the Timely family, you can find him on Twitter as @paulshingles.
