Global property management and booking system provider NewBook today announced Blake Collins as its first-ever chief growth officer (CGO). The company also appointed Ryan Nelson as its sales director.
The two key appointments come at a “pivotal time” for NewBook, the company said in a press release, as it continues to serve Australia and expand in international markets.
Collins carries 15 years of executive leadership experience in delivering growth in technology and digital businesses. His experience includes leading Zomato in Australia and an accomplished four-year stint at MYOB, driving the growth strategy through the sales and marketing functions.

“The success of NewBook is inspiring, and there’s a huge opportunity ahead of us. The product itself is market-leading, and with the passionate team behind it, we’re going to deliver even more innovation and customer value over the next few years. I’m thrilled to be part of it,” said NewBook’s CGO.
Meanwhile, North American-based Sales Director Ryan Nelson will be responsible for leading the team and managing partnerships including NewBook’s large enterprise customers.

He shared that he was drawn to join NewBook due to the company’s drive to innovate and was excited by the strong growth profile and clear vision for future potential.
The sales director comes from a sales development manager role at Cloudbeds and brings a wealth of SaaS and industry knowledge.

“NewBook’s ability to attract executives like Blake and Ryan attests to NewBook’s strong reputation, market-leading product, and passionate team,” said CEO Shaun Cornelius.
In the press release, the company noted that it is proud of the progress it has made to be a leading PMS for campgrounds and believes there is still significant growth opportunity ahead.
