ASC gets new CEO

The Australian Submarine Corporation has welcomed Greg Tunny as its new Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

He succeeds Graeme Bulmer, who has fulfilled the Acting CEO role since March this year.

Mr Tunny recently commenced work at ASC’s Outer Harbor facility, where he will be permanently based.

In support of its role in future naval shipbuilding projects, the company launched last week its new name and corporate identity - ASC Pty Ltd.

According to Mr John Prescott, Chairman of ASC, Mr Tunny is exceptionally well-qualified to lead ASC during this growth stage.

“Mr Tunny brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to ASC, which has been developed in the management of complex systems engineering projects for the defence and aviation industries in Australia and overseas,” he said.

Mr Tunny was appointed following a world-wide executive search which commenced in February this year following the departure of Dr Stephen Gumley to head Defence Materiel Organisation.
