Anduril Australia and Asia Pacific names VP for strategy

Anduril Australia announced it has named Pete Quinn as vice president for strategy at Anduril Australia and Asia Pacific. Quinn will support the growth of the Australian and APAC businesses. In this role he will provide strategic direction and shape the development of cutting-edge AI-driven capabilities for multi-domain superiority. Quinn joins the Anduril Australian and APAC business at a time of growth. Anduril Australia launched in 2022 and in just over a year has grown to a team of 76 people and moved offices three times to allow for its expansion. As a former rear admiral of the Royal Australian Navy, Quinn comes to Anduril Australia following a 40-year military career serving in a wide variety of Navy, joint and exchange appointments, including operational deployments to the Northwest Pacific, the Middle East and East Timor. He served most recently as Head Navy Capability where he was responsible for identifying the needs and requirements of Navy’s future capabilities and for the development and delivery of these capabilities to the fleet. He was awarded a Conspicuous Service Cross for outstanding achievement as the Commanding Officer of HMAS Sydney in the 2007 Australia Day Honours and appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in the 2018 Queen’s Birthday Honours for exceptional service to the Royal Australian Navy and Defence in senior management. In 2023 he was promoted to Officer of the Order of Australia for distinguished service to the RAN and the Australian Department of Defence. “Rear Admiral Quinn is a highly accomplished leader who has served our country with distinction,” said David Goodrich, executive chairman and CEO of Anduril Australia and Asia Pacific. “We are thrilled to welcome Pete to our team to accelerate the growth of our Australian and APAC businesses. While Pete brings incredible maritime depth, he also brings a multi-domain mindset which aligns perfectly with our growth strategy and disruptive capabilities across all five domains. We are building a team of Australia’s best talent to work on the most challenging projects facing the nation and we are incredibly excited that Pete has chosen to bring his talents and experience to Anduril to supercharge our growth.” “I am thrilled to bring my skill sets to Anduril, an organisation dedicated to solving key issues facing the warfighter as quickly as possible,” said Quinn. “What excites me about this role is Anduril’s speed to capability approach. I have seen first-hand ideas go from a sketch to prototype to capability at lightning speed. The future is now at Anduril. Anduril brings the best tech to help defend Australia in a very tangible way and I’m excited to join this dynamic team.” For Editorial Inquiries Contact: Editor Kym Bergmann at [email protected] For Advertising Inquiries Contact: Director of Sales Graham Joss at [email protected]
