CAE’s chief executive to step down as company looks to get defence business back on track

CAE Inc.’s chief executive is set to step aside after a 15-year run as the Canadian aviation training company tries to get its defence business back on track on the heels of a shaky financial performance in recent quarters.

“Marc’s lasting impact on CAE and global aerospace is unanimously recognized by the board,” CAE Chairman Alan MacGibbon said in the statement. “As we continue our succession process for the next CEO of CAE, we are fortunate to benefit from the considerable leadership depth he has built across the organization.”

The executive leading defence left CAE shortly afterward and another executive, Nick Leontidis, took on the newly-created position of chief operating officer overseeing defence and civil aviation. In August, chief financial officer Sonya Branco left the company to pursue other interests. In tandem Tuesday with the CEO announcement, CAE reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.24 on revenue of $1.14-billion. That beat analyst forecasts. The company largely maintained its previous financial guidance for the year, also surprising analysts.
