Anduril seeking new UK chief after Drake ducks out

Anduril Industries has appointed David Arthurton as interim leader for its UK business following the departure of Rich Drake. Drake’s role as general manager, which began in November 2023, concluded due to his pursuit of an opportunity outside Anduril Industries. The firm is actively searching for a permanent UK chief executive officer to oversee operations. Arthurton will assume leadership responsibilities immediately, guiding the company's strategic direction. This transition reflects Anduril’s ongoing commitment to innovation and growth within the European market.
