one of the leading manufacturers of complex aerostructure assemblies and interconnection systems,
Latecoere’s work is crucial not only to the industry today but also its continued ability to advance and
innovate in the future. Right now, we must focus on our customer needs to ramp up deliveries given the
continued growth in demand for our products and services. Recognising all the efforts that have been
done to overcome the multiple challenges of recent years, I am honored to lead Latecoere to write the
next chapter of its history. I look forward to working with its teams, the management, Board and partners.”

transformation of the company with the support of its key stakeholders through a period of
unprecedented disruption, putting Latecoere on a path towards sustainable profitable growth after many
years of losses.”

has been a difficult environment given COVID and the many supply chain and inflationary challenges,
