Boeing Defence Australia names new Managing Director

Aerospace, defence and space company Boeing has named Amy List as the incoming Managing Director of Boeing Defence Australia, replacing Scott Carpendale.

List (pictured) will be based at Boeing Defence Australia’s Brisbane’s head office and report to Carpendale, who has been promoted from MD and vice president of the division to vice president of Boeing Government Services – APAC Region.

“Amy has more than 20 years of military and Defence industry experience, including engineering and operational service in the Royal Australian Air Force,” said Carpendale in a statement from Boeing on Monday.

“This includes four years leading our Sustainment Operations portfolio which delivers key products and services such as AH-64E Apache, CH-47F Chinook, Helicopter Aircrew Training System, F/A-18F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler to our customers.”

List’s bio includes leadership roles at Boeing Defence Australia, which she joined in 2018, most recently as director of operations. 

Her career began at the Royal Australian Air Force, and has also included running both acquisition and sustainment programs for the Defence Materiel Organisation (now Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group), and nine years at defence contractor Raytheon.
