\u201cRight now in Australia, within the defence industry ... although we\u2019re competitors, we work together, and we can work together well. Those partnerships and those teaming arrangements to deliver the best capability to the customer is what we\u2019re all focused on. It\u2019s not about us doing it on our own. Whether it\u2019s with SMEs or whether it\u2019s some of our bigger partners ... we\u2019re here to deliver the best capability that we can to the Australian Defence Force.\u201d This week on the Defence Connect Podcast, we introduce you to BAE Systems Australia\u2019s new chief executive Gabby Costigan. Costigan, an ex-colonel in the Australian Army, takes us through her illustrious career starting with her time in the Australian Defence Force, her experience working with NATO, her deployment to Afghanistan where she worked in logistics, followed by her posting to the US where she went to Central Command in Tampa, before leaving Defence and finding her way to the role of CEO for Linfox Asia. Tune in as the logistics and supply chain expert talks us through the bids BAE Systems has put forward for major projects AIR 2025 Phase 6 JORN, LAND 400 and SEA 5000, mobilising the workforce for these projects and the prime\u2019s collaboration with Australia\u2019s SMEs.
