The Australian Missile Corporation has confirmed the appointment of Tom Seymour to the AMC advisory board.
Seymour currently serves as the chief executive officer of PwC Australia, where he oversees 800 partners and 9,000 staff across three businesses including assurance, financial advisory and consulting.
He has 25 years of experience in businesses, including serving as managing partner of PwC Australia’s financial advisory business.
Lee Goddard, chief executive officer of AMC, welcomed the insights that Seymour would bring to the role.
“Tom is an internationally respected business leader and strategist who will bring extensive experience and insights to the AMC,” Goddard said.
“We are extremely fortunate to have someone of Tom’s calibre join the board at this point in time, working closely with the rest of our strategic advisors, as we deliver on this important project for our nation and the Australian Defence Force.”
AMC is a wholly owned subsidiary of NIOA.
It is one of three companies that has been selected to support the Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance (GWEO) panel, including Lockheed Martin Australia and Raytheon Australia.
The current chairman of the AMC advisory board is former defence minister Christopher Pyne, alongside board members The Hon. Ellen Lord, former US Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, US Army Brigadier General (Ret’d) Alfred Abramson and Dr Ken Anderson, former chief scientist, Defence Science and Technology Group, Aerospace Division.
“I have been fortunate in my roles with PwC to have worked across both the public and private sectors in policy, strategy and advocacy for several decades,” Seymour said.
“I’m looking forward to working with Lee and my fellow AMC advisory board members in forming the strategic direction of a company and an enterprise that will have far-reaching economic and security benefits for Australia.
“This is an exciting time for the defence industry, and I am fully aligned with the AMC’s ambition to work with government to create a sovereign capability centred on responsiveness to the ADF’s needs while building an industrial ecosystem that delivers efficient and resilient supply.”
