Wirely, Australia’s trusted hospitality financial management provider, has announced a major leadership appointment. We’re excited to welcome Stu Taggart as the company’s new Chief Executive Officer.

The appointment marks a milestone in Wirely’s corporate journey, a deliberate strategic step to strengthen governance and enhance capability as the five-year-old business matures and cements its reputation as Australia’s most trusted hospitality financial operations platform.
Stu officially joined the business on 13 October 2025, and just 2 days in is already focused on Wirely’s next phase of growth.
“The outlook is extraordinarily exciting,”said Stu Taggart. “But improving our capacity and capability doesn’t mean we’ll lose sight of what makes Wirely special. We’ll continue to keep it simple. Helping venues meet us where they are, and empowering them to get more out of all their hard work.”
Stu’s leadership will guide Wirely as it continues to deliver on its promise: providing hospitality operators with the industry’s most trusted, innovative, and easy-to-use financial operations management platform.
“We think we’re positioned to help shape the future of hospitality financial operations management, and really change the game for hospitality businesses and venues” Stu added.
With strong foundations, a clear purpose, and an experienced leadership team, Wirely is set to build on its growth and continue helping hospitality venues across Australia work smarter, not harder.
