Avetta appoints Lynda Richards as APAC health chief. Wed, 26th Aug 2026 (Today) Avetta has appointed Lynda Richards as APAC Principal, Health and Safety, expanding its health and safety leadership in the region. Richards will work across Avetta's Risk Advisory, Product Management, and regional leadership teams. She will support the company's health and safety efforts in Asia-Pacific and contribute to product and service development for contractor management and supply chain risk. The appointment adds an executive with experience in governance, contractor management, and operational risk from roles at Sydney Airport, Qantas, Thales, and CBRE. That background is expected to inform Avetta's work with businesses managing complex supply chains in sectors including aviation, infrastructure, defence, and property. Her remit includes helping address work readiness gaps across supply chains. The hire is part of a broader effort to add more industry experience to teams focused on risk and safety issues. Avetta provides compliance, prequalification, safety, and performance benchmarking tools through a single platform used by hiring clients and suppliers. Its network includes more than 360,000 companies in over 120 countries. Richards will report to Scott DeBow, Director, Health and Safety, at Avetta. The role sits within the company's Risk Advisory practice, which combines health and safety, procurement, and environmental, social and governance expertise with data from its customer and supplier network. Regional focus The hire signals a continued focus on the Asia-Pacific market, where businesses face growing scrutiny over contractor oversight, operational risk, and supply chain resilience. Companies across infrastructure, transport, and property have been under pressure to improve how they assess suppliers and monitor on-site safety performance. For software and advisory providers in this market, recruiting leaders with direct operational experience has become a common approach. Businesses want advice and systems shaped by people who have managed risk and contractor relationships inside large organisations, rather than by product teams alone. Richards pointed to that operational background in comments on the appointment. "Having worked on the client side, I'm very familiar with the implementation and operational processes that go hand-in-hand with adopting new technologies," she said. "I'm excited to bring those insights and knowledge to Avetta so we can deliver improved and aligned outcomes for our customers, helping them build stronger, more resilient supply chains to drive long-term success." Her client-side experience may be particularly relevant for organisations trying to introduce new compliance and safety systems without disrupting established procurement and operations processes. In large supply chains, the challenge often lies not only in collecting supplier data but also in ensuring contractors, site managers, and procurement teams use the same standards. Advisory team Luke Boyle, Vice President of APAC Operations at Avetta, linked the appointment to customer demand in the region for stronger approaches to safety and risk oversight. "We're thrilled to welcome Lynda to Avetta," Boyle said. "Lynda's expertise in these specialist areas will be invaluable as we focus on increasing safety and risk maturity throughout the supply chain in APAC. For our local customers, having someone of Lynda's calibre on board is going to be transformative for the way they interact with Avetta's solutions." Avetta has built its business around helping clients assess whether suppliers meet required standards before they begin work, while also tracking ongoing compliance and performance. Adding Richards suggests the company sees a need to pair those tools more closely with regional operational knowledge as clients respond to changing expectations around contractor governance. The appointment also highlights the importance of health and safety expertise in supply chain software markets that have broadened from compliance checks into wider risk management. As companies seek better visibility over contractors and suppliers, executives with experience across safety, governance, and operations are becoming more prominent in product, advisory, and customer-facing roles. Richards joins Avetta after holding roles in organisations where contractor oversight and operational continuity are central concerns, including airports, airlines, defence, and commercial property. Those sectors share a reliance on large supplier networks and strict safety requirements, making them a useful testing ground for systems designed to identify and manage risk.

Avetta empowers businesses to work smarter and move faster. New enhancements - Safety Advisor, Find Projects and Member Value Hub - plus Directory-tier membership unlock greater value for customers. Avetta(R), the leader in intelligent work readiness across global supply chains, announced a series of enhancements to help more businesses that provide onsite, operationally critical and high-risk services improve safety, uncover new opportunities to win work and strengthen operations through membership in the Avetta community. The updates reflect Avetta's continued investment in helping contractors and service providers succeed before, during and between projects - recognizing that when they thrive, entire supply chains benefit. Onsite contractors, service providers and suppliers face growing pressure to meet evolving client expectations while also ensuring worker safety, managing compliance requirements and improving workforce readiness with limited time and resources. Simultaneously, winning new work remains a challenge, with many of these businesses relying on fragmented tools, manual processes and limited existing relationships to identify opportunities and stay competitive. As a result, businesses need a modern solution that does more than just manage client requirements. They need resources that help them improve safety performance, uncover new growth opportunities and simplify day-to-day operations through a single, integrated experience that gives them a competitive advantage. Avetta's latest enhancements - Safety Advisor, Find Projects and an upgraded Member Value Hub - along with Directory-tier membership are designed to help more businesses realize greater value from the Avetta community while also strengthening outcomes for their clients. "Too often, suppliers and contractors are viewed only through the lens of compliance," said Arshad Matin, CEO at Avetta. "We see them differently - these businesses are builders, problem-solvers and innovators that keep industries moving forward every day. When they have the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, the benefits extend far beyond individual companies, strengthening the global economy. That's why we're continuing to invest in solutions designed specifically to help businesses like this achieve greater success."
Avetta, a supply chain work readiness platform, has launched new features to help contractors and service providers improve safety, find projects, and streamline operations. The Utah-based company introduced Safety Advisor, an AI-powered tool providing workers with project-specific safety guidance based on regulatory sources including OSHA. The company also rolled out Find Projects, helping businesses discover opportunities within Avetta's community of hiring clients. An upgraded Member Value Hub now centralises benefits, training resources, and partner services. Avetta introduced Directory-tier membership, allowing any business providing onsite services to join without a client invitation. Members can create searchable profiles and access new capabilities whilst building credibility within the community. "We see them differently—these businesses are builders, problem-solvers and innovators that keep industries moving forward every day," said CEO Arshad Matin. The platform serves 360,000 businesses across more than 120 countries.
Avetta and eco-shaper launch new tool to simplify supply chain emissions reporting. - Content Director Published: May 26 2026 Avetta has partnered with eco-shaper to launch a new greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting tool designed to simplify emissions measurement across global supply chains. Tackling growing pressure for supply chain emissions transparency. Integrated directly into the Avetta platform, the new "eco-shaper mini" calculator is designed to help suppliers calculate and report Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions using straightforward operational inputs and recognised carbon accounting methodologies. The partnership responds to increasing demand from procurement teams and enterprise customers for more transparent supplier sustainability data. According to the release, suppliers are facing growing expectations around emissions reporting, despite many lacking the specialist expertise or resources needed to manage complex carbon accounting processes. By embedding the tool within Avetta's existing supplier management platform, suppliers can manage sustainability reporting alongside broader compliance and client requirements. Katie Martin, Director, Sustainability and Innovation at Avetta, said: "Suppliers are being asked to provide more sustainability data than ever before, but many do not have the internal resources or tools to respond efficiently. "Our partnership with eco-shaper removes a key barrier by making emissions measurement more accessible. It helps suppliers strengthen customer relationships through more consistent, accurate reporting while also identifying opportunities to improve their own ESG performance. At the same time, it gives hiring clients the reliable supplier data they need to advance sustainability goals across their supply chains." Simplifying emissions reporting for suppliers. The companies said the tool was specifically designed as a practical entry point for organisations seeking a simpler approach to emissions reporting without the cost or complexity of enterprise sustainability software. For suppliers, the platform aims to reduce the administrative burden associated with customer sustainability requests while improving reporting consistency and confidence. "It will save time, reduce uncertainty and support our ongoing commitment to improvement and meeting changing expectations." Supporting sustainable procurement and supply chain collaboration. Avetta said broader supplier participation in emissions reporting could improve visibility into supply chain emissions and strengthen sustainability reporting inputs for hiring clients. Tracey Carr, CEO at eco-shaper, said: "Most suppliers want to take meaningful action on sustainability, but are understandably unsure where to begin. "By partnering with Avetta, we are putting an intuitive, credible solution directly into the hands of the companies that need it most, helping them to measure emissions confidently and to take the next step in their sustainability journeys."
