Appointments across finance and sales, together with ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certification, signal that Hypha is moving decisively into its next phase of growth in the United States and beyond.

Hypha has announced a series of senior appointments and a major quality milestone, which together show that the company is now moving forward with its expansion in the USA and internationally. The announcements cover a new Chief Financial Officer, five new USA Account Executives, and certification to both ISO 9001 and ISO 27001.

Hypha has appointed Darren Betts as Chief Financial Officer. Betts has led finance functions across the technology, energy and infrastructure sectors in Australia and Southeast Asia. His background spans financial strategy, capital management and governance. Hypha has said these are the capabilities needed to support its rapid global expansion.

The company has also strengthened its USA sales organisation with five Account Executives, each assigned to a specific vertical.

Kiana Scott, MAOM, completes the USA Account Executive team and will focus on enterprise customers and the healthcare industry. She brings more than two decades of experience in telecommunications and mid-market sales, including leading high-performing teams. Her stated aim is to help more first responders and emergency teams stay connected, informed and safe.

Raul Medina joins as Account Executive for the transportation industry. He has built his career in enterprise sales across telecommunications, cloud, IoT, AI and other emerging technologies, and is originally from Mexico City.

Kavon Seaton also joins as Account Executive for transportation. He has more than six years of sales experience with fleet operators in the public and private sectors, and specialises in customer engagement, product demonstrations and measurable outcomes. At Hypha he will work with fleet operators, logistics companies and public sector organisations to improve operational visibility.

Gabriella Griffiths joins as Account Executive for utilities. She has extensive relationship-driven sales experience across government, energy, critical infrastructure and construction. She will partner with utility leaders on communications, resilience and growth across the sector.

Alongside the new hires, Hypha has confirmed that it is now certified to ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 27001 for information security. The company describes these as global gold standards for operational quality and data security. For customers in public safety, healthcare, transportation and utilities, where reliable connectivity and data protection are operational requirements, the certifications provide independent assurance of how Hypha operates.

Taken together, the appointments cover finance leadership, sector-specific sales coverage across four key verticals, and internationally recognised quality and security credentials. These are the foundations a company needs to scale with confidence, and they show that Hypha is committing to its expansion in the USA and beyond.
