Sydney, 16 July 2025 – Achilles has announced it is continuing its global expansion with the opening of its first Australian office in the heart of Sydney’s Central Business District (CBD). Located on Kent Street, the new office marks a strategic milestone in response to the region’s growing focus on managing supply chain risk to strengthen operational resilience and sustainability.
With its proximity to major financial and professional institutions, the Sydney office will serve as a regional hub. It will enable closer collaboration with Australian customers and partners while reinforcing Achilles’ mission to build transparent, ethical, and resilient supply chains across the APAC region.
“This expansion reflects our confidence in the Australian market and our commitment to working alongside our clients as trusted partners,” said Smitha Shetty, Regional Director – APAC at Achilles. “With a dedicated local presence, we can deliver even greater value by combining global expertise with local knowledge to help organisations strengthen their procurement practices and navigate an increasingly complex supply chain landscape.”
Jake Bristow, Sales Director – APAC at Achilles added:
Organisations are no longer judged solely on their operations but also on the integrity and traceability of their supply chains. With growing audit scrutiny and regulatory shifts, there is a clear need for reliable data and proactive supplier management. Our Sydney presence allows us to support Australian businesses more directly with audit-ready insights to mitigate risk and improve sustainability practices within supply chains.
With this strategic milestone, Achilles continues to expand and invest in resources, talent, and capabilities in the APAC region, building on its more than a decade-long established operations in India to empower organisations with the data, tools, and insights needed to manage risk, improve supplier assurance, and advance responsible supply chain practices.
