Coniq Announces Appointment of New Company Chairman

Coniq is excited to announce the appointment of our new company chairman, Austen Mulinder. As Coniq continues its global expansion, with a specific focus on US markets, it was key to find a chairman with strong experience in those areas, and within globally renowned retail brands. 

Austen has over 30 years of experience working within the retail technology industry and has worked with some of the largest global brands ranging from innovative start-ups to multi-billion-dollar corporations.  

Austen’s executive experience includes Fujitsu, where he led and developed the global retail strategy as CEO and President of Fujitsu Transaction Solutions. At Microsoft, among multiple accountabilities as Corporate Vice President, he built up and delivered long-term business with the company’s Top 100 Global Clients at the most senior levels. As CEO at Ziosk, Austen founded a start-up that created the market for customer-facing tabletop tablets. Within three years, over 60 million customers a month sat at a table served by Ziosk, processing billions of dollars in annual transactions.

Responding to the question “What attracted you to Coniq ?” Austen said,

“The business that has been built and the position it has established within the European space is very compelling.  At the same time, the opportunity for growth in the US particularly, and the traction that is being gained there is very exciting.”

As a British-born national, Austen has gained much of his experience in the USA, which complements Coniq’s commitment to our own growth goals in that region, as well as more generally the continued innovation we apply to our world-class Customer Engagement solutions. 

Ben Chesser, CEO, and Founder of Coniq said,

“I’m delighted to add another great player to the Coniq team with Austen. He joins at a really exciting time for us; with both major expansion in the Middle East and USA, and also as we are on the verge of introducing some game-changing new products into the sector. I am very confident that with Austen’s help Coniq will go from strength to strength.”

Ben Chesser, Coniq CEO

We welcome Austen to our board and look forward to his insights and support to help Coniq further shape the future of customer engagement for retail destinations and shopping malls around the world.
