Aristocrat Leisure, a prominent gambling technology company, has named Jennifer Aument as a prospective non-executive director, pending the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals. With her impressive background, Aument brings with her years of executive experience, having previously served as global chief executive for transportation at Aecom, where she managed a team of more than 14,000 individuals.

Aument’s professional journey began over 15 years ago at Transurban, where she started in smaller leadership roles and worked her way up to become the President and Chief Executive Officer for North America. She has also worked with various other organizations such as the Virginia Port Authority, Bechtel Civil Infrastructure, and Dittus Communications.

Apart from her impressive career, Aument is also a member of several advisory boards, including Cornell University and the Eno Center for Transportation.

She also brings strong government relations and public affairs capabilities.”

As an impressive, people-oriented business leader with a track record of active community engagement, Aument’s contribution is highly anticipated, and Aristocrat is looking forward to her joining the board of directors.
