About Barry Freeman

I excel in helping organisations to navigate complexity, scale, and establish sustainable growth across sectors - with measurable, high-impact results demonstrated over a series of key leadership positions. My strength is in forward-thinking, harnessing a passion for innovation and a drive to challenge the status quo to elevate business performance. My ability to thrive in fast change environments permeates all levels of a business and has driven the required momentum to deliver several transformations of legacy businesses into agile, innovative market leaders that are future-focused and optimally synergised within their respective value chains - converting profit and revenue opportunity.My achievements include growing the non-auto and consecutively the consumer arm of Carsales, now an ASX50 organisation through innovation and new partnerships, including delivering revolutionary digital payments capability as the first in the sector to place a vehicle transaction on the New Payments Platform. Previously, I stewarded Carsales’ investment and transformation of Redbook Inspect, driving 10x growth, clear market leadership, world-class NPS at 80+, 3x industry high margins via partnerships and digitally integrated backbone.Most recently, I have led the transformation of a significant Carsales business by identifying new growth opportunities in a mature market. Through the development of strategic partnerships and delivery of necessary business restructuring, I have refocused the business on profit delivery and prepared it for its next stage of growth and/or exit.Please feel free to connect.
