Titomic Limited (ASX: TTT), a pioneer in cold spray additive manufacturing through its proprietary Titomic Kinetic Fusion™ process, has announced the appointment of Aude Vignelles as President of its Asia-Pacific operations. Based in Melbourne, Ms Vignelles will take charge of regional strategy and execution during a time of significant expansion and renewed industry focus.
Bringing decades of experience from aerospace, telecommunications, and advanced technology sectors, Ms Vignelles is set to bolster Titomic’s leadership team as the company strengthens its footprint across the APAC region. Most recently serving as Chief Technology Officer at the Australian Space Agency, Ms Vignelles was instrumental in shaping the nation’s Civil Space Strategy and overseeing national programs and international engagements that positioned Australia as a serious player in the global space arena.
“Aude brings exceptional leadership and technical depth, with a unique perspective built from years of cross-industry experience,” said Jim Simpson, CEO and Managing Director of Titomic. “Her arrival comes at a critical moment as we scale our operations and build strategic momentum in aerospace, defense, and energy sectors across the region.”
Ms Vignelles began her career at the European Space Agency (ESA), supporting key science missions such as Rosetta and later managing testing for the XMM project, ESA’s largest scientific satellite program at the time. Her professional journey later included senior positions in broadcasting and telecom, with companies such as Foxtel, Austar, Technicolor APAC, and ONdigital. Before joining Titomic, she served as Executive Manager for Satellite & Fixed Wireless Operations at nbn, where she played a major role in infrastructure deployment and operations. Her diverse experience—ranging from hands-on engineering to executive leadership—makes her well-positioned to steer Titomic’s growth strategy across complex industrial ecosystems.
“Joining Titomic at this point in its journey is an exciting opportunity,” said Aude Vignelles. “The company’s innovative approach to additive manufacturing has real-world applications that can redefine production and repair across high-value sectors. I’m eager to help drive expansion, increase market reach, and bring meaningful change to how critical components are manufactured and maintained.”
Titomic continues to expand its presence in Australia and the broader region, with increased focus on defense, aerospace, and energy markets. The company is actively investing in local partnerships, operational improvements, and strategic hires to support its long-term ambitions.
