"As more and more Australian and New Zealand brands look to reach a global customer base, ShipBob's offering of best-in-class fulfilment services and its logistics platform in Australia continues to set an industry standard, and I'm excited to be a part of it. I can't wait to build the future success of the Australian ShipBob office."
