BAE Systems group managing director, international, Guy Griffiths, praised McDowell’s achievements during his 10 years in leading the Australian subsidiary of BAE, including growing the company from 2500 employees and annual revenues of $400 million to more than 6000 staff and almost $1.8 billion in annual revenues today, and the acquisition of the Tenix Defence business in 2008.
“Among Jim’s many achievements in Australia have been his ability to build a strong team, develop a business that is positioned for continued growth,” Griffiths said.
