Ampcontrol honours departing CEO

At the end of June, Ampcontrol will farewell its Managing Director and CEO, Rod Henderson, who has served the company for over 25 years. After joining Ampcontrol in 1999, Henderson held several senior management roles before being appointed CEO in 2014 and Managing Director of the Board in 2015.

“Leading and working with such a talented and dedicated team has been a privilege. I am extremely proud of our accomplishments over the past decade as Managing Director and CEO, and of the robust foundation we have established for continued success,” Henderson said.

“Reflecting on our journey, I remain impressed by some of our achievements and developments. Notably, we have pioneered world-first technologies and solutions in the resources sector and successfully transitioned to manufacturing intensive care-ready ventilators during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Greg Sedgwick, Chairman of the Ampcontrol Board of Directors, said Henderson had provided the business with strong leadership during this time. “There have been many accomplishments in his career, including industry-leading safety performance, earnings growth, and positioning Ampcontrol for a strong position in a decarbonisation future,” he said.

Sedgwick said the Board had engaged Derwent Consulting, an executive search company specialising in private equity, to conduct an internal and external search for a new Ampcontrol CEO over the coming months.

“Ampcontrol is well-positioned for the future,” Henderson said. “Now is the time to give the steering wheel to someone else to continue driving the vision forward.

“After 25 years with Ampcontrol, I look forward to stepping back, taking a well-earned break, and moving on to the next adventure. I do not doubt that Ampcontrol will reach even greater heights in the coming years. I can’t wait to see what incredible things can be achieved for our customers, industry, community and people.”

“On behalf of the entire organisation, we thank Rod for his dedicated and committed service to Ampcontrol over the past 25 years and wish him all the best for the future,” Sedgwick said.
