In this episode of Beyond the Deal, Thoma Bravo Senior Partner A.J. Rohde and Principal Peter Hernandez sit down with Nearmap CEO Andy Watt for a candid conversation about leadership, culture and building a global technology company from Australia. Andy shares the story of how a move from Scotland to Sydney turned into a decades-long journey with a leading Australian technology company. The group reflects on Nearmap’s growth, the experience of scaling a global company from Australia and the behind-the-scenes moments that helped Thoma Bravo win the trust of the Nearmap team. The episode closes with A.J.’s lightning round — covering everything from Scottish traditions and Australian sports to rock bands and Vegemite. It’s a lighter look at the relationships, personalities and moments that happen beyond the deal.
