Montreal-based simulation and training provider CAE has selected Matthew Bromberg, currently heading global operations at Northrop Grumman, as its next president and CEO. The appointment will take effect on August 13, following CAE’s annual shareholder meeting.
Bromberg, 55, brings extensive aerospace and defense experience to the role, having overseen major operational transformations at some of the industry’s largest companies. At Northrop Grumman since 2022, he has led enterprise-wide cost reduction initiatives through enhanced program execution and supply-chain restructuring.&nbsp;
His background includes a five-year tenure as president of military engines at RTX (formerly Raytheon Technologies) from 2017 to 2022, where he managed one of the world’s largest military propulsion portfolios. Prior to that role, Bromberg served as president of commercial aftermarket operations at Pratt &amp; Whitney from 2013 to 2017.
The leadership transition follows the previously announced departure of Marc Parent, who has served as CAE’s president and CEO for 16 years. Under Parent’s leadership, the company evolved from primarily manufacturing industrial products to becoming a dominant force in aviation training solutions globally.
“Matthew Bromberg is a proven leader with deep experience in both aerospace and defence, involving large-scale international operations,” said Calin Rovinescu, who will assume the role of executive chairman. Rovinescu, the former Air Canada CEO, joined CAE’s board in February 2025.
Bromberg will relocate to CAE’s Montreal headquarters and begin working alongside Parent during a transition period starting June 16. “These are exciting times for CAE, with strong secular growth tailwinds across all its markets,” Bromberg stated.
The executive restructuring also includes the appointment of Sophie Brochu, former Hydro-Québec CEO and current CAE board member since 2023, as lead independent director.
Bromberg holds advanced degrees from MIT, including an MBA and master’s in mechanical engineering, along with a physics degree from UC Berkeley.
