Washington, DC, October

that Nic Adams, Bid Director at Teradata UK Ltd, has been elected as the APMP Board of Directors Chief Operating Officer

recently served as the APMP’s Board of Directors Treasurer from 2013 through

Mr. Adams was elected as
the APMP COO/CEO/Past CEO from a field of four highly-qualified candidates. He earned the highest scores from his APMP
Board of Director peers in the association’s first contested election for the
top spot in over five years. He will

association in eight years, when Tony Birch of Shipley Limited was APMP’s CEO
in 2006.
In addition to having
held leadership roles for other not-for-profit organizations, Mr. Adams has
over 25 years business experience working for Blue Chip IT corporations and has
developed corporate governance and financial business models. He holds
financial management and accounting qualifications from the SA Institute of
Business and an MDP from the University of South Africa Business School.
As APMP Treasurer, Mr.
Adams was the first volunteer Board member to have been asked to participate in
the financial review and fiscal governance in the association’s 25-year history.
He will join the incumbent Executive
Committee Members Suzanne Jones, Chief Executive Officer, of Northrop Grumman,
and Colleen Jolly, Past CEO, of the 24 Hour Company, on January 1, 2015. His Treasurer position will be left vacant
and filled soon by appointment of the APMP Board.
"Nic was chapter chair of the APMP UK for two terms before becoming APMP
Treasurer. He brings a wide variety of governance and financial experience to
our Board,” said Rick Harris, Executive Director, APMP. "Nic is known for
his ability to understand challenges and work toward effective problem solving. We all look forward to his collaboration with
next year’s CEO, Suzanne Jones, and for his leadership, as APMP continues to
evolve and grow.”
