Aurrigo International plc, a frontrunner in the autonomous vehicle industry, has announced the strategic appointment of Lewis Girdwood as the Executive Director. This significant move is aimed at bolstering the company’s aviation endeavors, following its listing on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) in September 2022.
Lewis Girdwood, with his illustrious background as the former Head of Financial Planning and Analysis at EasyJet and Chief Financial Officer of IAG Cargo, brings a wealth of experience to Aurrigo International. His expertise is expected to play a crucial role in the rollout of the company’s third-generation Auto-DollyTug, an all-electric, autonomous vehicle designed to enhance efficiency in aviation operations.
Lewis Girdwood, formerly the non-executive Audit Chair at Aurrigo, shared his excitement for the company’s progress in the aviation industry. David Keene, Aurrigo’s CEO, praised Girdwood’s impact and underscored the significance of his financial and aviation expertise in realizing the company’s aggressive growth objectives. Girdwood’s transition has opened the door for Peter Whiting to come on board as an independent non-executive Director and the new Chair of the Audit Committee, offering his deep investment analyst experience in equity capital markets to the leadership team.
