Australian geospatial data capture company, Outline Global, has announced that Phil Delaney will succeed Ross Lewin as CEO next month.

As Spatial Source reported last month, Delaney had left his role as CEO of Australian geospatial data analytics start-up, MapAI, with FrontierSI’s CEO, Graeme Kernich, stepping in to serve as MapAI’s interim CEO.

“Outline’s strong foundation in data capture sets us apart in a rapidly evolving market,” said Delaney.

“I look forward to working with our customers to harness the full potential of our data, while driving forward with AI-powered products that will deliver even more value.”

Lewin, who founded Outline Global 15 years ago, will remain with the company in a board-only role. Under his leadership, the firm developed its Gtech geospatial data capture platform.

According to Lewin, the company has its sights set expanding its focus on AI-driven geospatial products and Earth observation analytics, while maintaining its core of high-quality data capture.

The company’s successes including a fire ant mapping solution for the Queensland Government and disturbance mapping solutions for mining clients.

“Leading Outline Global from its inception has been an incredibly rewarding journey,” said Lewin.

“I am confident that Phil will lead the company into an exciting new era of innovation and guide our product and platform lead growth strategy, to positively impact our customers.”
