Outline Global Announces Leadership Transition as Phil Delaney Takes the Helm as CEO
Outline Global, a leader in premium geospatial data capture, is pleased to announce that Phil Delaney will succeed Ross Lewin as CEO in March 2025. This leadership transition comes as the company embarks on an exciting phase of growth, expanding its focus on AI-driven geospatial products while maintaining its core strengths in high-quality data capture.
Ross Lewin’s Impact and Continued Involvement
Ross Lewin founded Outline Global 15 years ago and has been pivotal in establishing the company’s reputation for premium, flexible data capture solutions. His leadership drove the creation of the Gtech™ platform, fuelling Outline’s growth while fostering a culture of collaboration and long-term value creation. Under Ross’s guidance, Outline Global has seen substantial growth and developed a trusted presence in the geospatial industry.
While Ross will transition to a board-only role, he will continue to provide valuable insight as Outline moves into its next chapter. “Leading Outline Global from its inception has been an incredibly rewarding journey,” said Ross Lewin. “I am confident that Phil will lead the company into an exciting new era of innovation and guide our product and platform lead growth strategy, to positively impact our customers.”
A New Era of Innovation and Growth
As Phil Delaney takes the helm, Outline Global will continue to build on its foundation of high-quality data capture, while expanding into the AI and EO Analytics product space. Phil’s leadership will focus on scaling the core data capture business and leveraging AI to create premium, decision-ready products that add substantial value to clients. This focus will expand on proven successes, including the Fire Ant mapping solution for the Queensland Government and Disturbance Mapping for mining clients; demonstrating how AI and premium data can solve complex environmental challenges.
“Outline’s strong foundation in data capture sets us apart in a rapidly evolving market,” said incoming CEO Phil Delaney. “I look forward to working with our customers to harness the full potential of our data, while driving forward with AI-powered products that will deliver even more value.”
Partnering for Future Success
Outline’s future is further strengthened by its long-term investment partner Armitage Associates, whose backing ensures the resources needed for this transformation will be available in a measured and deliberate way. “With the combination of Ross’s legacy, our talented team, and strong strategic backing, Outline is poised for a bold and exciting future,” added Phil Delaney.
