Airbus Americas new Director - Research and Technology

摘要

As part of its ongoing work to double its investment in the US economy over the next 20 years, Airbus has created and filled the new position of Director, Research and Technology (R&T), Airbus Americas. David Paul Hills, 52, previously with Airbus Operations in the United Kingdom, started at the new job on May 1. He is based at Airbus Americas headquarters in Herndon, Virginia, and reports directly to Airbus Americas President and CEO, Barry Eccleston. Hills liaises closely with EADS North America, also based in Herndon. "As we continue to grow our operations in the US, it has become rapidly apparent that we need an expert to identify new opportunities in the North American R&T community," said Eccleston. "David comes to us with vast relevant experience, including a broad understanding of business governance and operations policy. His addition to our team will help drive our technology development in the U.S., opening many doors that previously we had not approached."
