VP, General Manager of V-22 Programs Calls It Quits
Dennis Jarvi, the Vice President
& General Manager for V-22 Programs at Bell Helicopter, has
resigned from his position effective July 18th. He is leaving to
take the position of President, Defense North America for Rolls
Royce Corporation. Jarvi joined Bell Helicopter Textron in May of
2001.
In making the announcement Redenbaugh said, "We'll miss the
strong and effective leadership Dennis has brought to the V-22
program. His program management skills, understanding of the V-22
program and leadership ability have been a great asset for Bell in
this important program. Dennis' contributions to the V-22 have put
us on track to deliver 18 aircraft this year. We wish him every
success in his future endeavor."
Speaking of his time at Bell Jarvi said, "I will really miss
working at Bell and particularly appreciate the opportunity to work
on the V-22 program. We have turned the corner and are well on the
way to ramping up to full rate production. It has been very
challenging and rewarding. While the decision to leave is a
difficult one, the new position offers me the opportunity of a
lifetime. To lead a business unit in the aerospace industry charged
with the full responsibility for the profit and loss has long been
a goal of mine."
Redenbaugh indicated the V-22 program would continue moving
toward the 18 aircraft goal. "We have a strong leadership team led
by our V-22 Program Director, Bob Ellithorpe. We have an excellent
program in place and will continue to refine our processes and
reduce our costs in the production of the V-22."
