Tim Johnson to join Amaero board as non-executive director
Amaero Ltd, McDonald, Tennessee, USA, has announced that Tim (TJ) Johnson has been nominated to join Amaero’s board as a Non-Executive Director, subject to satisfying the requisite regulatory requirements. It is expected that he will assume the responsibilities of the chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee.
Johnson is an experienced corporate board member and retired Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of several publicly listed companies in the United States. Most recently, he served as CFO for Victoria’s Secret from 2021 to 2024; his prior experience includes a nineteen-year tenure at Big Lots Stores, serving as CFO from 2012 to 2019. He currently serves as a Director at Dollar Tree, a Fortune 225 company operating 9,200 stores with annual revenue approaching $20 billion, Brinker International, a leading casual dining company with brands that include Chili’s Grill & Bar and Maggiano’s Little Italy and Driven Brands Inc, a leading automotive services business. He began his career as a Senior Accountant at Coopers and Lybrand (now PwC) from 1989 to 1992.
Following Johnson’s appointment, Eric Bono will step down from the board as an Executive Director. Bono will continue in his executive role as Amaero’s Chief Technology Officer and will remain closely engaged with the Board.
Amaero stated that Johnson’s extensive financial leadership and governance experience with large, complex US-listed companies will add meaningful depth to the Board, particularly in areas of financial oversight, audit and risk management and capital markets engagement. His experience is expected to support Amaero as it continues to scale its US manufacturing operations, explores opportunities to integrate adjacent manufacturing capabilities and progresses its proposed redomiciliation to the United States.
Following this change, Amaero’s seven-member board will consist of one Executive Director and six Non-Executive Directors, further strengthening the company’s governance structure.
“Amaero is entering an important phase of growth as we scale operations and progress our proposed redomiciliation to the United States. TJ brings significant US public-company financial executive and board leadership experience gained at large NYSE and NASDAQ listed companies,” stated Hank J Holland, Amaero’s chairman and CEO. “His deep expertise in financial management, governance, audit and risk oversight will be highly valuable to Amaero as we continue to build a strong governance foundation that supports the next phase of our growth strategy. I have worked with TJ previously on another board and know the quality of his leadership and judgement. I look forward to welcoming him to Amaero’s Board and look forward to his leadership as chair of the Audit and Risk Committee.”
