Embraer Keeps Things Moving

Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer has announced several management changes as part of its “organizational adjustments” and associated with the company’s ongoing CEO succession process. James Bruce Peddle replaces Mark Hale as vice-president of marketing and sales for the US, Canada and Caribbean, as of 1 May. Until then, Charles William (Bill) Parks, regional sales director, will be in charge. Orlando Jose Ferreira Neto replaces Bruce Peddle as managing director of Embraer Asia and Pacific, from 2 April. Mark Paul Hale has been appointed managing director and chief operating officer of Nashville-based subsidiary Embraer Aircraft Maintenance Services (EAMS). Last year, Embraer tapped 45 year-old Frederico Fleury Curado to succeed president and chief executive Maurício Botelho who is set to step down in April.
