His predecessor, Matthieu Louvot, has been nominated as CEO of Airbus Helicopters. Kirstetter will take up his post on May 18.
“Eric is joining Airbus at a critical juncture for the company, as we work to secure a trajectory of sustained growth, bold innovation and positive societal impact,” highlighted Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury. “His experience across a variety of industry sectors, including aerospace and defence, will be key to help us turn global geopolitical and technological changes into strategic opportunities and to implement our long-term roadmap. I look forward to the collaboration with Eric and wish him every success in the role.”
Kirstetter holds a Mechanical Engineering degree from leading French mechanical engineering school ISAE-Supméca. He also had a Master's degree in International Industrial Management, from HEC Paris, one of Europe’s top business schools. Prior to his time at Roland Berger, he worked for 17 years at international management consultancy Arthur D Little.
