One day after officially taking the helm of Airbus and taking over from Tom Enders as CEO of the European OEM, Guillaume Faury revealed his executive committee, which now includes 12 members—including two women, double the number that served on the prior committee. The elimination of the position of president of Airbus Commercial Aircraft, the group’s most important business unit, stands as the most notable change, however. Faury held that position until April 10 and now will perform its duties while serving as CEO of Airbus. Faury formally became CEO of Airbus at the company’s annual shareholder meeting on Wednesday, though the company had already announced his promotion to the top spot last year.
