...While Former Embraer Commercial Aviation Boss Heads to GE Aviation
There's been a switch at the top ranks of Embraer Commercial Aviation as John Slattery, who provided much of the impetus behind the failed Boeing/Embraer deal departed the top slot and was replaced by Arjan Meijer as the new President and CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation.
The over 4 Billion deal was not to be, and Slattery's slot as a top player in the combined Boeing organization went with it.
Instead; Arjan will report directly to Embraer President and CEO Francisco Gomes Neto, and step up from his prior role as Chief Commercial Officer of Embraer Commercial Aviation -- a post he held since January 2017. In his role as CCO at the company, he has been responsible for the global Marketing and Sales functions across six different regions, helping the company to achieve 35 airline deals. He joined the company in April 2016 as Vice President of Commercial Aviation for Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Russia.
Prior to joining Embraer, Arjan spent 15 years in various executive roles at the KLM Group. His last two roles were Vice President of Technical Services and Fleet Development at KLM’s regional subsidiary KLM Cityhopper and Managing Director at KLM UK Engineering in Norwich. Arjan earned a Master’s in Aeronautical Engineering from Delft Technical University in the Netherlands and a Master’s in Business Administration from Purdue University in the United States.
“Arjan has done a fantastic job as the head of sales for Embraer Commercial Aviation. He has the energy, international experience, and skillset to lead our commercial aviation business at this unique moment,” said Francisco Gomes Neto.
