Stefano Villanti has been appointed Managing Director of Leonardo Helicopters, effective September 1.
Villanti brings extensive experience in Leonardo’s rotorcraft business, having held senior leadership positions within Leonardo Helicopters for the past ten years, including responsibility for Sales, Marketing and Contracts over the last three years.
As Managing Director, Villanti will ensure that Leonardo Helicopters remains focused on its key priorities: delivering on commitments to customers, advancing the helicopter business’s industrial strategy and achieving its growth objectives.
“Leonardo is a major global player in the rotorcraft industry — a sector that, like much of the wider Aerospace, Defence and Security landscape, is navigating a period of considerable change,” Villanti said.
“This environment calls for a balanced approach: continuity in execution and performance, combined with a careful assessment of longer-term priorities and the opportunities most valuable to maintaining and strengthening Leonardo’s competitiveness.
“With customers at the centre of everything we do, we will place acceleration in execution and innovation at the core of how we work, while continuing to enhance quality. We are fully committed to delivering on these priorities, drawing on the expertise, dedication and enthusiasm of everyone across the Division.”
