New chief executive set to re-energise Embraer

摘要

Embraer has nominated Francisco Gomes Neto to succeed Paulo Cesar de Souza e Silva as its president and chief executive. The election will take place when the company's board convenes following a shareholders' meeting on 22 April, it says. Board chairman Alexandre Silva credits Gomes Neto - cur-rendy the president of Brazilian bus and coach manufacturer Mar-copolo - with "vast international experience". Noting his "focus on industrial sector management", he describes the appointee as having "the right profile to lead Embraer through this period of transformation of the company and the global aerospace sector".
