Sydney, Australia – 25 September 2026. 6clicks, pioneer of sovereign GRC infrastructure, today announced the appointment of George Reed as Chief Product Officer, expanding his leadership from Head of Product & UX to oversee the company’s end-to-end product function and engineering execution.
In the new role, Reed will lead product management, design, data, engineering, and quality assurance, bringing product strategy, discovery, delivery, and quality under a unified leadership structure. He will own the operating model that turns customer needs, market shifts, and regulatory requirements into solutions that deliver real value to users.
The appointment reflects 6clicks’ continued investment in product innovation and strengthens its ability to advance the strategic direction of its sovereign, AI-native GRC platform. Reed will focus on ensuring the company builds the right capabilities, delivers them to a consistently high standard, and measures success through customer and business outcomes.
Reed has already played a central role in the development and success of 6clicks’ latest offering, intelligent GRC or iGRC. Under his product leadership, the platform has evolved towards adaptive intelligence and a broader vision of continuous assurance, connecting the full assurance chain and processing evidence intelligently from any source rather than relying on static, cloud-only connectors.
Key iGRC capabilities include:
Reed is also driving the platform’s move towards agentic connectivity, a core pillar of its three-layer architecture. Enabled by the 6clicks Workflow Builder and MCP Server, it extends 6clicks beyond the platform boundary to connect GRC data with the systems, tools, and AI agents teams already use in their operational environments.
“I’m excited to take on the Chief Product Officer role at such a pivotal time for 6clicks. This alignment of product and engineering gives us the focus and pace to help organizations transform GRC from a periodic compliance exercise into a connected, continuous system of assurance. We’re building capabilities that link requirements to controls, evidence, and actions in context, and use intelligence to surface gaps earlier so teams can move faster with confidence, without compromising trust, quality, or human oversight.”
George Reed, Chief Product Officer, 6clicks
“Engineering excellence is how we turn the ambition behind iGRC into dependable outcomes. Under George’s leadership, we can further strengthen our culture of continuous delivery, releasing capabilities safely and consistently, aligning with actual customer pain points, and continually raising the platform’s performance to meet the standards of confidence and resilience that modern assurance demands.”
Andrew Lawrence, Chief Technology Officer, 6clicks
“George has been instrumental in shaping iGRC and advancing our vision for a more intelligent, connected, and sovereign approach to assurance. His appointment as Chief Product Officer comes at an important stage in our growth and reflects our commitment to delivering technology that solves complex, real-world GRC challenges for customers.”
Anthony Stevens, Chief Executive Officer, 6clicks
Under Reed’s leadership, 6clicks will continue to empower organizations to prove assurance continuously with automated, traceable, and verifiable evidence, especially across disconnected and highly regulated environments.
George Reed has more than 20 years of experience designing customer experiences across South Africa and Australia. He specializes in building high-performing design teams and leading customer-centric transformation in complex, regulated industries.
Before joining 6clicks, Reed contributed to the post-merger integration of the Lendi and Aussie platforms at Lendi Group and established design practices that significantly improved the platform experience. His career spans financial services, banking, and fintech, including leadership roles at Old Mutual, Credit Union SA, and DirectAxis.
