Based at ARKANCE’s Australian headquarters in Brisbane, Bryce will lead the company’s ANZ business as it builds out new product capabilities and enhances support for its more than 400,000 users across Australia and New Zealand. The expansion reflects ARKANCE’s strategy to respond to evolving market needs by offering a broader, integrated portfolio of digital solutions for the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) sector.

Mr Bryce brings over 25 years of global technology leadership experience, having driven growth and expansion across EMEA, APAC and North America. His career includes senior roles at companies such as SoftwareONE, HP, and more recently SaaS-based firms Codility and Saville, where he was involved in scaling businesses through rapid growth, IPOs and private equity-backed transformations.

“I’m excited about to be joining the ARKANCE group and the opportunity to lead such a dynamic and forward-thinking business,” said Grant Bryce, Managing Director, Australia and New Zealand, ARKANCE. “I’ve been fortunate enough to help lead and scale several organizations through rapid growth, IPOs, and Private Equity-backed transformations, and I’m looking forward to bringing that experience here as ARKANCE expands their tech and services offerings to market.”

ARKANCE is already the world’s largest global platinum partner of Autodesk, one of only six Sapphire Bluebeam partners worldwide, and a platinum partner for Siemens. Earlier this year, the group also introduced its proprietary Be.Smart application portfolio to address emerging industry requirements.

In October 2025, ARKANCE extended its partnership with the Nemetschek Group, bringing GoCanvas to the ANZ market. With a technology stack that includes Adobe, Pinnacle, Autodesk, Bluebeam, GoCanvas and Be.Smart, the company plans to announce additional product offerings in Australia and New Zealand before the end of 2025, with further launches scheduled for the first half of 2026.
