Louvot, currently Executive Vice-President Strategy for Airbus, will succeed Bruno Even, who has decided to leave the company to pursue new personal and professional objectives. The announcement confirms the leadership transition at the helicopter division after eight years under Even’s direction.
“I am deeply grateful for Bruno’s leadership at the helm of Airbus Helicopters over the past eight years. Under his tenure, the Division expanded its product portfolio, transformed its industrial system and has been placed on a sustainable and profitable growth trajectory. I respect Bruno’s decision to step down and explore new avenues for the next phase of his career,” said Guillaume Faury, Airbus CEO. “Our teams at Helicopters will benefit from the leadership of Matthieu, whose extensive experience in the helicopter industry and broad knowledge of the Division’s operational and strategic priorities will enable a smooth transition. I wish him every success in the role and look forward to seeing Airbus Helicopters reach new heights under his lead.”
A graduate of the École Polytechnique and the École Nationale d’Administration, Louvot began his career in the French administration, including serving as adviser for industry at the French Presidency, before joining Airbus Helicopters in 2010 and holding several senior management roles. His successor as Airbus Executive Vice-President Strategy will be announced at a later date.
