Press Releases

Cloudwerx, a leading Australian provider of advanced data, analytics and Generative AI services, today announced three senior appointments to support company growth and provide dedicated product leadership with the company having just passed its 1,500th ‘Delivery Unit’ sales mark.

Ashleigh Sword has joined Cloudwerx as Chief Growth Officer, Kylie Willett has been appointed Product Director, Tesseract Design, and Supriya Shonnard has been appointed Product Director, Tesseract Delivery.

Today, traditional software implementation services are scrambling to understand how to price and serve clients in a world where AI agents increasingly automate configuration and coding workflows. At the same time, customers are increasingly informed and expecting to see direct benefits from an AI enabled partner.

Cloudwerx has successfully executed a multi-year strategy to not simply accelerate the traditional model, but to disrupt it using Tesseract as its proprietary product-centric system for enterprise software delivery. Based on buying a type of universal ‘credit’ which can be converted to an extensive list of detailed fixed scopes, customers are free to resequence, reprioritise and expand their needs with no change requests or commercial pressure to a resourcing schedule.

To spearhead the inflection point in AI Native Services, Cloudwerx is appointing Ashleigh Sword as Chief Growth Officer. Sword joins the Cloudwerx executive team and will lead the company’s commercial strategy and go-to-market approach. Following more than a decade at Accenture, where she led complex enterprise transformation transactions and strategic technology partnerships, Sword brings this experience to connect Cloudwerx’s delivery model with enterprise customers and strategic partners.

“AI is rewriting the rules, and in technology delivery the labour scale is no longer the advantage,” says Ashleigh Sword. “ My firm believe is that smaller, specialist partners are leading the market in packaging frontier technology into practical business outcomes that solve problems and make adoption commercially straightforward. That’s exactly where Cloudwerx is different.”

As Product Director, Tesseract Design, Kylie Willett will lead the development of new AI Native design systems, services and interfaces, reforming how customer ideas are shaped into practical outcomes that are ready to deliver.

In addition,Supriya Shonnard, Product Director, Tesseract Delivery, will lead continuous development and innovation of the rapidly expanding ‘Success Plan Catalogue’ of modular, shippable, customisable outcomes that the Tesseract system can deliver. Combined with the firm’s famous squad delivery system, measuring outcomes not hours, even more clients than ever will benefit from lower total cost of ownership, smoother delivery and flexibility that does not come with a hidden price tag.

Cloudwerx CEO, Toby Wilcock, said, “Kylie, Supriya and Ashleigh are exactly the kind of leaders we want representing Cloudwerx. They’re commercially minded, deep experts, and passionate about solving complex problems with our clients.

“With Sword leading growth, Willett leading productised design and Shonnard leading productised delivery, Cloudwerx will now scale the success of our innovative method to new offerings, new clients and new markets - all while continuing to apply the latest in AI Native Services thinking and agentic capability.”
