ATR, a company active in the regional transport aircraft sector owned by Airbus and Leonardo, has appointed Stefano Bortoli, former chairman of the board of directors of ATR and senior vice president of strategy, marketing development and sales of Leonardo Aircraft Division, as new CEO of ATR. The appointment will become effective immediately with immediate effect.
The decision follows among other things last week's announcement by Airbus that it has appointed Christian Scherer as its chief commercial officer.
Stefano Bortoli – informs a note – has a deep knowledge and understanding of the company, the aeronautical sector and the regional market. He has held various management positions and has a very international background, providing the right profile and experience to continue the positive developments of Atr
“I thank Christian for his crucial contributions to ATR commercially and for setting the stage for ATR's future as a leader in regional aviation,” commented Bortoli. “I am honored to join ATR's passionate and professional team and bring my experience to continue to ensure ATR's leadership in the market and position it for the future.”
