Rubicon Announces Board Change
18 July 2018 – Rubicon announced today that Mr Thomas Avery has been appointed to the Board as
an Independent Director.
Tom has nearly 40 years of investment banking and venture capital experience. He has served on
numerous private company boards throughout his career, advising companies on the successful
financing, planning and execution of growth strategies. As an investment banker, Tom worked
primarily with middle market growth companies in executing mergers and acquisitions, initial public
offerings, and private placements of equity and debt. He served as a Managing Director at Raymond
James & Associates from 2000-2014, which involved the management of the technology investment
banking group and the financial sponsors’ efforts. Prior to that, Tom’s career saw him act as the head
of the investment banking group at Interstate/Johnson-Lane, be a general partner at Summit Partners
and at Noro-Moseley Partners, and work as a Senior Vice President at The Robinson-Humphrey
Company. He currently has directorships at Cicero Inc., CRA International Inc, and KIPP Metro Atlanta.
Tom has a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Management, summa sum laude, from the Georgia
Institute of Technology, and a Master’s in Business Administration from the Harvard Business School.
Rubicon’s Co-Chairmen, David Knott and Ranjan Tandon, welcomed Tom to the Board, saying “Tom’s
extensive business experience with all aspects of the execution of growth strategies, particularly
financing, will be put to good use as we increase the intensity of our focus on the continued
commercialisation of ArborGen’s businesses in the United States, Brazil and Australasia. He will make
a strong contribution towards Rubicon meeting and advancing its key milestones, and we are
extremely pleased to have him with us as we move forward.”
