RECARO Aircraft Seating, the global supplier of premium aircraft seats for airlines and OEMs, has announced two changes to its Executive Boards.
René Dankwerth joins the RECARO Holding Executive Board as Chief Business Development Officer, while Roland Grimm joins the RECARO Aircraft Seating Executive Board as EVP Supply Chain & Sustainability. These appointments are an important step in the company’s continued efforts to drive growth and bolster its leadership team. René Dankwerth brings a wealth of experience to his new role as Chief Business Development Officer at RECARO Holding. With a distinguished career spanning 17 years at RECARO Aircraft Seating, Dankwerth has held various key positions, including Director of Quality, Director of Purchasing, EVP of R&D, and General Manager at the RECARO Aircraft Seating facility in the United States. Dankwerth’s responsibilities will extend to overseeing Growag and AAT Composites, as well as Licensing & Merchandising.
Roland Grimm, the newest member of the RECARO Aircraft Seating Executive Board, assumes the position of EVP Supply Chain & Sustainability. Grimm’s tenure with RECARO began more than a decade ago as a Product Manager at RECARO Aircraft Seating. He has since climbed the ranks, serving in roles such as Head of Sales, Head of Spares & Supply Chain, Operations Executive at AAT Composites, and most recently, Director Supply Chain & Sustainability. In addition to his global supply chain optimization responsibilities, Grimm will also oversee the RECARO Aircraft Seating facility in Poland. Dr. Mark Hiller, CEO of RECARO Holding and RECARO Aircraft Seating, emphasized the significance of these appointments in the company’s growth trajectory. “Adding members to our Executive Boards is not a decision we take lightly, as our Executive Boards are key to our growth path as a company,” said Dr. Hiller. RECARO Holding has just announced record-breaking growth in 2022, underlining the company’s commitment to delivering the highest-quality products and services to its customers. Additionally, RECARO Aircraft Seating showcased its latest innovations in sustainability, smart technology, and premium cabin seating at the Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) in June in Hamburg.
