Ivo Expands in Australia with New Sydney Office

SYDNEY, Oct. 05, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Ivo, a leading contract intelligence platform for major global enterprises, has expanded its presence in Australia by opening a new office in Sydney’s central business district. This move aims to better support the company’s growing customer base across the region, including well-known firms such as Canva, Fonterra, Dovetail, and companies listed on the ASX 100 and the Big Four banks of Australia.

The Sydney office is part of Ivo’s strategic plan to establish a local base for further growth and to closely support its regional customers. Since the beginning of the year, Ivo’s customer base across Australia and New Zealand has grown by more than 40%. This expansion reflects the increasing demand for contract intelligence in the region.

Joanna Barker, who previously served as the Chief Operating Officer at KPMG Australia, has joined Ivo as Head of Customer Success, Asia-Pacific. Barker will lead the effort to build a team that will support existing customers and expand the adoption of Ivo’s platform across Australia and New Zealand. Initial local hires will include Customer Success Managers, Legal Engineers, and Account Executives.

Min-Kyu Jung, co-founder and CEO of Ivo, emphasized the importance of having a local presence.

Ivo’s platform integrates contract review, deal negotiation, and contract intelligence, enabling legal teams to manage contracting from start to finish. It also provides teams across procurement, sales, and finance with visibility into the data and intelligence contained within their contracts. The local team will provide faster, more tailored support to Ivo’s APAC customers, combining closer alignment with their working hours with knowledge of the local market and challenges facing in-house legal teams.

The Australian team will work closely with customers to embed Ivo into their contracting workflows, ensuring that legal and business teams can move faster, reduce risk, and grow revenue. Local Customer Success Managers and Legal Engineers will collaborate with customers to integrate Ivo into their processes and provide strategic business insights.

Ivo’s Sydney expansion builds on its roots in the region. Earlier this year, the company raised a US$55 million Series B led by Blackbird, with participation from Costanoa Ventures, Uncork Capital, Fika Ventures, GD1, and Icehouse Ventures. This funding will support product development, enterprise capabilities, and international growth.

The company’s platform is designed to help legal and business teams turn contracts into actionable business intelligence, surface risk instantly, and accelerate negotiation cycles. With the new office, Ivo aims to strengthen its connection with customers across Asia-Pacific and ensure that their needs inform the company’s roadmap as it builds for a global market.
