A recent top executive appointment at Textron signifies more than just a leadership change.

A recent top executive appointment at Textron signifies more than just a leadership change. It was also part of a continued reorganization of the company’s corporate structure that started about a year ago and will affect its operating units, including Cessna Aircraft and Bell Helicopter.

In late October, long-time Garrett/Honeywell engine executive Steven Loranger, 50, was named executive v-p and COO to oversee Textron’s manufacturing business units, including Bell and Cessna. Russ Meyer, 70, once more becomes Cessna’s chairman. Loranger was at Honeywell for 21 years and most recently served as president and CEO of Honeywell Engines.
