Managed, a leading property management software provider has strengthened its team in response to the fast-growing demand, positioning itself for significant expansion in 2025.
Rohith George, the company’s chief operating officer, noted that the platform is seeing a rapid increase in interest, with monthly inquiries about its features, including workflow tools, integrations, and payment automation, doubling consistently.
The platform offers an all-encompassing property management solution with a focus on digital rental payments. This solution empowers property managers to efficiently manage all aspects of their rental properties, including maintenance through a convenient marketplace connecting them with qualified tradespeople. A key advantage is the elimination of the need for traditional trust accounts, enabling instant payment processing.
The demand for property management software that offers agencies a viable alternative to managing trust accounts is experiencing significant growth. Recognizing this increasing market need, Managed has prioritized addressing this demand throughout 2024. To support continued expansion and strategic development in 2025, Managed has strategically expanded its executive leadership team and significantly increased its direct sales efforts.
The role of sales director has been filled by Sam Hoare, as announced recently.
Sam Hoare is a seasoned sales leader with 13 years of experience in the tech sector, having successfully built teams at major tech giants like Salesforce and Intercom.
At Intercom, Sam was instrumental in the company’s successful expansion into the APAC region, growing revenue from $2 million to $21 million and increasing staff from three to 25 over a five-year period.
In his new role at Managed, Sam will focus on enhancing the company’s sales capabilities, driving growth, and utilizing his SaaS expertise to contribute to Managed’s continued success.
With Sam Hoare at the helm, Managed is set to further strengthen its connection with agencies seeking efficiency and productivity improvements. His leadership will also focus on maximizing the potential of the platform’s direct and automated payment solutions. Sam is in the process of assembling a Sydney-based sales team with a national focus, and the first sales executives have already joined.
Alongside Sam, Alexander Laureti joined as the Chief Financial Officer, and Blair Dods joined as the Martech Director, completing the strengthened leadership team.
As a certified public accountant with a background in owning a multidisciplinary accounting practice and acting as an angel investor, Laureti offers valuable financial expertise that will support Managed’s growth and operational strategy.
George noted that his expertise in law and accounting positions him as a valuable executive who will strengthen Managed’s financial governance and streamline operations to support expansion.
With 25 years of experience in the tech sector, Dods has been a leader in digital transformation since the late 1990s, bringing invaluable knowledge to the Managed team.
Over the course of his career in Australia, New Zealand, Germany, and the UK, he has harnessed cutting-edge technology to stimulate commercial growth across both established digital sales organizations and start-up ventures.
George shared that these leadership additions will improve Managed’s operational processes and governance structure, enabling the platform to scale effectively and support agencies in maximizing their growth and profitability.
The development of the strengthened leadership team was a process that took time and careful thought, according to George. He noted that with Sam, Alexander, and Blair in place, the company now had the right leaders in key roles to drive growth.
George commended the team’s strong unity and their consistently positive and solution-oriented approach, which he attributed to their impressive achievements. He acknowledged that the shift towards automated rental payments is fundamentally transforming the property management landscape in Australia. Recognizing this transformative shift, Managed is committed to attracting and retaining top talent to fuel continued growth and success. George expressed his enthusiasm for collaborating closely with Sam, Alexander, and Blair to guide Managed towards a prosperous future.
