Startup Victoria has appointed its new CEO after a four-month long search, with Lupe and Beattie Wines co-founder Georgia Beattie taking the reins with an aim to make Melbourne the leading tech destination in the Asia-Pacific.
Startup Victoria is the leading startup body in the state and now has over 11,000 community members. It began the search for the top job in March with outgoing CEO Scott Handsaker announcing he would be stepping aside.
