BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA -- Management Controls, Inc. (MCi), a global leader in contractor spend optimisation, has announced two key senior leadership appointments in Australia to accelerate its strategic expansion throughout the country and the broader Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.

Kelly McLennan joins MCi as Senior Director of Strategy & Growth, where she will lead the company’s Australian growth strategy. She will focus on building strategic partnerships, setting investment priorities, and expanding MCi’s market-leading contractor spend optimisation capabilities across the region.

Brooke Hedger joins MCi as Senior Director of Client Growth, where she will oversee client operations and support the scaling of MCi’s Australian workforce. Brooke draws on her expertise in human capital and operations from her previous role as Director at Deloitte, playing a central role in delivering high-impact client outcomes during MCi’s next growth phase.

These appointments bolster the regional leadership team under Erin McCarthy, Chief Revenue Officer, who is spearheading MCi’s APAC expansion efforts. The strengthened leadership aligns with MCi’s commitment to partnering with owner-operators and EPCs to transform how contractor spend is managed across maintenance, shutdowns, turnarounds, and capital projects.

“With Erin’s recent appointment to lead APAC, we are doubling down on successes in Metals, Mining, and Oil and Gas in the region,” said Ken Naughton, President of MCi. “Kelly and Brooke significantly strengthen our leadership capability in Australia and position us to work in deep, strategic partnership with clients focused on optimising and transforming their contractor spend.”
