In Episode 9 of the Apollo League Podcast, Simon talks to Rob Brown from Kerb Holdings. 

Kerb is a fast growing Aussie scale-up that connects unutilised car park spaces to customers and is already operating in 30 countries worldwide. Drivers use the Kerb app on their phones to book car park spaces, and asset managers and landlords use the app to monetise their spare assets.

In today’s podcast, Rob discusses how he used Apollo League to set up a global advisory board of professionals to help grow Kerb by setting up new vertical and geographic markets.

This was Apollo League’s first international search assignment.
