Dave Seaton

A commercial career spanning over 40 years, with senior executive positions across oil
and gas services (Schlumberger), security (ArmorGroup International) and support services.
He began as an accountant and rose to CFO and then CEO of ArmorGroup International plc,
leading its 2003 MBO, its 2004 Main Listing IPO on the LSE, and its 2008 sale to G4S. During
his tenure the group grew more than fourfold — from around $80m revenue to over $360m —

period, including a mine-clearance business, a K&R consultancy and a specialist training
business.

deployments included Bosnia, Kuwait and Timor-Leste, and his final appointment was Army
Inspector General. In a second, commercial career he managed the New Zealand All Blacks for
three years, then moved into UK outsourced facilities management. As Director of Business
Development at ArmorGroup plc he led the engagement and negotiation of the first commercial
mine-clearance contract in West Qurna, Iraq, and has since been CEO of RPSG.

spans finance, business and security risk: senior executive positions at Lloyds Banking

as an equity partner — investing or sourcing investment, and joining boards as a
Non-Executive Director through to sale, flotation or senior equity investment.
