Bombardier dismisses Tellier from top post

After a two-year period that saw Bombardier lay off thousands of aerospace workers, divest itself of aviation and non-aviation assets, close a key service center (in Indianapolis) and consolidate business aircraft manufacturing, the company’s board of directors last month acted on the recommendation of its human resource and compensation committee to fire CEO Paul Tellier. The move came as part of a management restructuring that saw executive chairman Laurent Beaudoin, aerospace division president Pierre Beaudoin and rail division head Andre Navarri form a new three-member office of the president. Tellier, who assumed the CEO post from Robert Brown only two years ago, left the company a year before his three-year contract expired.
