| | Robert Baltus | | Directeur associé | | Executive Jet Management (Europe) |

Executive Jet Management (Europe) désigne son nouveau Directeur associé
Genève, Suisse, le 21 mai 2013 – Robert Baltus a été nommé Directeur associé d’Executive Jet Management (Europe), anciennement NetJets Aircraft Management. À ce poste, Robert Baltus sera chargé d’augmenter la flotte d’avions gérée par la société.
À la suite d’une enquête auprès de ses clients, qui a mis l’accent sur le fait que les propriétaires d’avions s’identifient fortement à la marque Executive Jet Management (la société sœur américaine d’Executive Jet Management (Europe) et membre de la société mère NetJets Inc.), la décision stratégique de repositionner la société a été prise.
« C’est une excellente opportunité », a déclaré Robert Baltus à propos de son nouveau poste. « Je rejoins une jeune entreprise à un moment très intéressant pour l’aéronautique et j’ai hâte de contribuer au développement de l’activité. Executive Jet Management (Europe) apportera aux propriétaires d’avions une solution de gestion aéronautique de tout premier choix, avec notamment le recrutement et la formation d’équipage, la planification des vols et du personnel navigant, le garage en hangar, la maintenance et les activités connexes ».
Robert Baltus justifie de dix-huit ans d’expérience dans le secteur de l’aviation. Il a notamment conseillé et assisté la direction et les conseils d’administration de diverses sociétés du secteur aéronautique. Au cours des douze dernières années, il a développé de solides relations personnelles avec de nombreuses entreprises leader en tant que spécialiste de l’aviation et il a conseillé un grand nombre de sociétés sur la sélection de la flotte, la formation, la gestion des changements stratégiques et la création de nouvelles filiales. Auparavant, Robert Baltus a travaillé comme membre d’une brillante équipe de ventes chez NetJets Europe avant de rejoindre une société de gestion aéronautique allemande où il s’occupait de la gestion des avions dans toute l’Europe. Il a également assisté le groupe Stella Aviation en étendant ses nouvelles activités à travers le monde. Titulaire d’un Master of Science en gestion des transports aériens de l’Université de Cranfield, Robert Baltus est également pilote commercial.
Luis Pinto, Senior Vice President Business Development de NetJets Inc. a déclaré à propos de la nomination de Robert Baltus : « Nous sommes heureux d’accueillir Robert Baltus dans une autre partie de la famille NetJets. Lorsqu’il opérait dans l’équipe de ventes, il a prouvé son aptitude à développer l’activité. Au fil des années, il a gagné de l’expérience et une multitude de contacts afin de pouvoir renforcer le portefeuille d’Executive Jet Management (Europe) ».
Executive Jet Management (Europe) apportera aux propriétaires d’avions une solution de gestion aéronautique de tout premier choix, en leur donnant accès au personnel de qualité de NetJets Europe, à ses installations et à ses services de gestion. Les propriétaires d’avions auront la possibilité de recourir à ces services simplement pour ne pas avoir à s’occuper de la gestion de leurs appareils, ou bien pour autoriser NetJets Europe à les affréter – cette dernière solution permettant à NetJets Europe d’élargir les capacités de l’activité en propriété partagée, tout en procurant des revenus complémentaires réguliers à ses clients.
Ce programme applique l’un des principes fondamentaux du modèle de propriété partagée propre à NetJets Europe, qui veut que les propriétaires d’avions ne paient qu’en proportion du temps qu’ils passent effectivement en vol, plutôt que d’avoir à s’acquitter d’une commission de gestion forfaitaire, comme c’est généralement l’usage sur ce marché.
La nouvelle société bénéficiera des ressources existantes et de l’expérience du marché de NetJets Europe. Doté de la plus importante flotte d’avions d’affaires d’Europe, NetJets Europe possède les capacités, les relations et les infrastructures nécessaires pour fournir les meilleurs services possibles aux propriétaires d’appareils sous le nom d’Executive Jet Management (Europe). Grâce à cette nouvelle société, NetJets Europe pourra développer toujours plus efficacement ses atouts et ses relations.

EMBRAER NAMES NEW PRESIDENT OF VISIONA TECNOLOGIA ESPACIAL
São Paulo – SP, June 11th, 2012 – Nelson Krahenbuhl Salgado was named President of Visiona Tecnologia Espacial S.A., today.
With head offices in the Technological Park of São José dos Campos, in the State of São Paulo, Visiona’s initial objective is to be involved in the Brazilian Geostationary Satellite program for meeting the satellite communication needs of the Federal Government, including the National Broadband Program and a wide spectrum of strategic defense transmissions.
Visiona will also assume the leadership of the Space Technologies Development Center, working in a partnership with the Nation’s most important aerospace education and research institutions, and accelerating the capability of Brazil’s space industry. Embraer holds 51% of the capital of the company, and Telebras controls the remaining 49%.
Nelson Salgado has an engineering degree, with a Ph.D. from England and an MBA in corporate management from the Getúlio Vargas Foundation, in São Paulo. Since he came to Embraer in 1987, Salgado has participated in structuring the development program for the EMBRAER 170/190 family of jets, and he was responsible for such corporate areas as Strategic Planning, Economic and Financial Planning, Comptrollership and, more recently, Mergers and Acquisitions. In the latter function, he has represented Embraer in negotiations to expand its business portfolio by acquiring shares of the capital of other companies, in both Brazil and abroad.
“The challenge of leading and helping to build this new phase of Brazil’s space program is a great opportunity.

AEA announces changes in its organisation
After 10 years at the helm of the pan-European airline association which brings together Europe’s 34 leading network airlines, Ulrich Schulte-Strathaus has ended his term.
As of 1 June, Athar Husain Khan has assumed the function as acting Secretary General until a new Secretary General is presented for election by the CEOs of the Association.
“Mr Schulte-Strathaus has done a superb job in giving support to outline requirements for a healthy aviation sector for Europe”, commented Bernard Gustin, AEA Chairman and CEO of Brussels Airlines. “This was change management at its best.
Now, we face a new challenge: to attract attention from politicians to the fact that aviation plays a vital role in Europe’s economy creating employment and promoting growth of European industries.”
Athar Husain Khan joined the association as airline expert in 2007, and was appointed Deputy Secretary General in 2011. He will explore ways of further improving co-operation with other airline associations, increasing the clout of the aviation sector’s dealings with European institutions, and prioritising the key issues and messages.
“We are currently in a transition phase” explained Mr Gustin. “Besides Mr Husain Khan paving the way for the future, AEA is welcoming a new head of communications; Geert Sciot is Vice President Communications at Brussels Airlines, and has joined AEA as General Manager Communications. Mr Sciot is an acknowledged expert who fits perfectly well into the organisation given his airline communications background.
In order to oversee and steer the change process in the most efficient way, the CEOs of the Association’s airlines have decided to extend the term of the Chairman from one year to two, which means Bernard Gustin will stay in office until the end of next year.

Paris, le 19 janvier 2012 - Un nouveau Directeur Régional à Monaco pour renforcer la position d’Air Partner en Europe
Spécialiste de l’affrètement aérien sur mesure, Air Partner aborde le marché monégasque grâce à l’ouverture, à l’automne 2011, de son antenne à Monaco. Nouveau venu chez Air Partner, Laurent Wadoux a pour mission de renforcer la présence du groupe dans le Sud de la France et à Monaco.
Monaco, un marché porteur en adéquation avec la politique de développement d’Air Partner
Ancrée dans la stratégie globale d’expansion géographique du groupe, l’ouverture de cette antenne permet à Air Partner de renforcer ses relations avec un réseau entretenu depuis plus de 15 ans dans la région.
Laurent Wadoux : un expert international
Evoluant depuis plus de 4 ans dans le secteur aéronautique, Laurent Wadoux a mis à profit son expérience internationale en matière de transport aérien au service du groupe Air Partner. Débutant sa carrière en 2004 dans le
secteur public, il parfait sa formation à la London Arts University, puis il développe l’achat-vente de parts d’avions en Suisse chez NetJets. En juin 2011, il décide de se tourner
vers le courtage aérien en intégrant Air Partner en tant que Directeur Régional basé à Monaco.
Selon Laurent Wadoux : « Notre nouveau bureau monégasque est la suite logique du développement d’Air Partner pour le sud de la France. Mon expérience dans l’aviation d’affaires est bénéfique pour proposer à la clientèle de la région notre programme phare,
la JetCard, soit un crédit de 25 heures de vol avec lequel un appareil vous est garanti en seulement 24 heures de préavis, et cela en Europe, en Amérique du Nord, dans les Caraïbes,
en Asie ou au Moyen-Orient. La JetCard Air Partner répond aux attentes du public monégasque très international et qui recherche la solution à toute problématique de transport.
Air Partner a également l’envergure nécessaire pour répondre à toute demande ad hoc et cela dans le monde entier grâce à ses 21 bureaux internationaux ».
Monaco attire chaque année quelques 4,5 millions de personnes. Riche de ses 35 889 habitants, la principauté monégasque est le pays le plus densément peuplé au monde. Bénéficiant du PNB par habitant le plus élevé au
niveau planétaire, c’est un marché très attractif pour de nombreuses entreprises. Reconnu pour la qualité de ses infrastructures de tourisme haut de gamme (palaces, restaurants luxueux, spa…), le secteur touristique se
destine pour 81% au tourisme de loisirs et à 19% au tourisme d’affaires (Source : direction du tourisme et des congrès de la principauté de Monaco-2009).
Air Partner et Monaco une relation durable
Depuis 51 ans, Air Partner travaille avec les Chefs d’Etat, les grandes familles, les agences de voyages et événementielles, le secteur de la musique, les sociétés industrielles, les entreprises du CAC 40, des PME et ONG de tous types, ainsi que des particuliers. Air Partner a déjà eu l’occasion de collaborer avec la
clientèle de la Principauté. Récemment, à l’occasion du mariage de SAS le Prince Albert de Monaco, Air Partner a remporté le contrat d’affrètement pour le concert des Eagles qui s’est déroulé le 1er juillet dernier.
A cette occasion, le courtier a affrété un avion cargo pour le transport du matériel depuis Nice (après le concert) vers Manston (en Angleterre) où la tournée a pu continuer.

Physicist and Former Astronaut John Grunsfeld to Head NASA Science Directorate
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- NASA has named physicist and former astronaut John Grunsfeld as the new associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at the agency's headquarters in Washington. Grunsfeld will take the reins of the office effective Jan. 4, 2012. He succeeds Ed Weiler, who retired from NASA on Sept. 30.
Grunsfeld currently serves as the deputy director of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, which manages the science program for the Hubble Space Telescope and is a partner in the forthcoming James Webb Space Telescope. His background includes research in high energy astrophysics, cosmic ray physics and in the emerging field of exoplanet studies with specific interest in future astronomical instrumentation.
A veteran of five space shuttle flights, Grunsfeld visited Hubble three times as an astronaut, performing a total of eight spacewalks to service and upgrade the observatory.
"John's understanding of the critical connection between scientific research and the human exploration of space makes him an ideal choice for this job," NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said. "I look forward to working with him to take the agency's science programs to even greater heights and make more of the ground-breaking discoveries about Earth and our universe for which NASA is known."
Grunsfeld graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1980 with a bachelor's degree in physics. Returning to his native Chicago, he earned a master's degree and, in 1988, a doctorate in physics from the University of Chicago using a cosmic ray experiment on space shuttle Challenger for his doctoral thesis. From Chicago, he joined the faculty of the California Institute of Technology as a Senior Research Fellow in Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy.
Grunsfeld joined NASA's Astronaut Office in 1992. He logged over 58 days in space on five shuttle missions, including 58 hours and 30 minutes of spacewalk time. He first flew to space aboard Endeavour in March 1995 on a mission that studied the far ultraviolet spectra of faint astronomical objects using the Astro Observatory. His second flight was aboard Atlantis in January 1997. The mission docked with the Russian space station Mir and exchanged U.S. astronauts living aboard the outpost. Grunsfeld then flew three shuttle missions - aboard Discovery in December 1999, Columbia in March 2002 and Atlantis in May 2009 - that successfully serviced and upgraded the Hubble Space Telescope. He served as the payload commander on the 2002 mission and lead spacewalker in charge of Hubble activities on the 2009 flight. In 2004 and 2005, he served as the commander and science officer on the backup crew for Expedition 13 to the International Space Station.
"It is an honor and a privilege to be offered the opportunity to lead NASA's Science Mission Directorate during this exciting time in the agency's history," Grunsfeld said. "Science at NASA is all about exploring the endless frontier of the Earth and space. I look forward to working with the NASA team to help enable new discoveries in our quest to understand our home planet and unravel the mysteries of the universe."

"Mary has helped Boeing push the envelope in leading the aerospace manufacturing industry in setting measurable goals for reducing our global environmental footprint and driving injuries out of the workplace," said Tracy. "She brought discipline and rigor to our EHS organization, and Boeing and the aerospace industry are in a better place in this critical area because of her leadership."
Since May 2009, Smith has been Boeing Commercial Airplanes' director of Supplier Management for Spirit AeroSystems, a key Boeing supplier of airplane sections and fuselages. Smith has held a wide range of internal and external assignments. She has led organizations within the Fabrication Division and 737 program at Boeing Commercial Airplanes and has held jobs in manufacturing research and development and production support engineering during her career at Boeing.

ARLINGTON, Va., Nov 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ASI Government (ASI), public sector consultants specializing in performance management solutions, announced that Kimberly "Kymm" McCabe has been named President and Chief Executive Officer, effective 5 December. Ms. McCabe, who has served as ASI's President for most of this year, follows Anne Reed as CEO. Also on the 5th, Anne Reed will assume the role of Chairman of the Board as Ann Costello, one of ASI's founders, retires from the position.
During her tenure as President of ASI, Ms. McCabe has helped reposition the company's professional services solutions in response to changes in the federal landscape. She has continued to expand the company's core capabilities to include acquisition, program management, and strategy and organizational performance. Understanding the critical importance of collaboration and communication across the big "A" Acquisition community, she has intensified the focus on solutions that help "bridge the gap" between program and contract procurement teams.
Prior to joining ASI, Ms. McCabe served as the Acting Deputy Director of the Office of Business Transformation (OBT) in the Headquarters, Department of the Army supporting the Under Secretary of the Army/Chief Management Officer. During her time in the Pentagon, she worked with the Army's senior leaders to guide one of the most momentous transformations in history - the transformation of the Army's business operations.
"Kymm has been with ASI for nearly a year and has already made a tremendous contribution to its transformation. Reflecting her acute understanding of the federal community, she's helped advance new thinking in the company to more proactively address agency needs. Her insight, innovation and passion are a perfect combination to lead ASI into the future. I look forward to working with her and the Board in my new role as Chairman to contribute to the company's ability to serve our government," commented Ms. Reed.
"I am honored to work with such an exceptional team of professionals, as we continue to deliver value while creating client experiences that are unexpected by design," shared Ms. McCabe. "Anne has been instrumental in paving the way for this transition in ASI's leadership and while she will no longer be engaged in day-to-day operations, ASI and our clients will continue to benefit from her vision and experience in her new position as Chairman of the Board. Both she and Ann Costello have helped build ASI into an organization that's respected for its commitment to serve the government, valued for its innovative thinking, and trusted to deliver superior results. I look forward to building on that strong foundation as we continue to think outside the box to help agencies drive more value out of every tax dollar in support of their vital missions."
Ann Costello added, "Personally, and on behalf of my former partners, Chip Mather and Bob Welch, we could not be more proud of the positive impact the entire ASI family has had on the agencies with whom we have worked. The company has come a long way since its founding 15 years ago. While I will deeply miss ASI, I am excited to start a new chapter in my life and leave confident that with Kymm's strategic vision and passion for public service, and Anne's leadership of the Board, ASI could not be in better hands."

| | Sara NELSON | | International Vice President | | Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO |
|
Sara Nelson took office as the International Vice-President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO on January 1, 2011. Sara has been a union activist since nearly the beginning of her flying career, after becoming a United Airlines Flight Attendant in 1996.
The hallmarks of Sara's union activism have been collective action and effective communications. Early in her union career, Sara served in a variety of positions including CHAOS™ Strike Co-Coordinator, and Local Council Vice President, Local CHAOS Strike Coordinator and Council Rep. (United Airlines, Boston). In those roles she learned the power of collective action first hand.
Prior to her election as International Vice President, Sara spent over eight years directing communications and PR efforts for the union's United Airlines unit. In that role she represented the union in all the major news media in the U.S., including news coverage on all the major networks, CNN, PBS, NPR, the BBC and BBC radio, and other overseas news outlets, major newspapers and wire service reports. She also was responsible for internal member communications and mobilization, experience which is invaluable for her role as International Vice President in directing leadership development, mobilization and organizing of Flight Attendants throughout the industry.
Sara also has extensive government relations experience having written Congressional testimony, coordinated Congressional press conferences, and personally lobbied members of Congress. She also conducted extensive training on a wide range of topics for union members.

| | Veda SHOOK | | International President | | Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO |
|
Veda Shook, who was elected International President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA effective January 1, 2011, is proud to be a Flight Attendant, first and foremost. She plans to continue flying and sounding out members even as she takes the helm of the world’s largest union representing only Flight Attendants.
As International Vice President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA since 2007, Veda has traveled constantly to meet AFA leaders and members, as well as other public officials and community and labor leaders who can help Flight Attendants gain respect and fair compensation for their work.
After graduating from the University of Colorado-Boulder in 1991 with a bachelor’s degree in International Relations, and fluency in French, Veda moved to Portland, Ore., on a lark. Her career as a Flight Attendant began when a friend recommended she apply for a job with Alaska Airlines. Veda has been a Flight Attendant since June 7, 1991.
Veda quickly organized with fellow Portland Flight Attendants to gain local status for Portland, apart from Seattle, and ran successfully to become the first president of the Portland council.
That led to an industry-leading contract with Alaska, cementing Veda’s status as a successful negotiator. She has been both tough and accommodating in negotiations, fostering cooperative relationships that have benefited Flight Attendants – from compensation increases to work flexibility enhancements to cabin air safety protections to family leave provisions.
Veda improved the situation for all working mothers at Alaska Airlines by adding newer, more progressive language to the contract, including a provision to extend maternity leave. Now the mother of two children, Isabelle and Donovan, Veda continues to advocate for working parents and the ability for all Flight Attendants to care for loved ones. | | Date of publication: 2011/01/04 | | Category: Nominations | | Update your profile | |

| | Marc DeBLASIO | | Chairman | | NATO Study Group |
|
Marc DeBlasio, director of the Northrop Grumman Corporation Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Mission Package Integrator program, was named chairman of NATO Industrial Advisory Group (NIAG) 150 for Modularity.
The committee is staffed by 29 industry and government professionals from nine nations.
The purpose of NIAG 150 is to lay out an architecture for the design, installation and operation of modular mission equipment packages for humanitarian and disaster relief (HADR), antipiracy and harbor defense missions. NATO's goal is to develop and build mission packages, similar in concept to what the U.S. Navy is doing for its Littoral Combat Ship, which would be used aboard multinational LPDs (Amphibious Transport Dock), its Joint Support or equivalent ships.
"This is an exciting challenge for me and all the members of my committee," said DeBlasio. "We have an opportunity to maximize and modernize the capabilities of NATO sea forces for some of the most important missions they are tasked to address."
The committee will deliver its final report in June 2011. The report will evaluate modular mission package concepts and interchangeability requirements for the three missions. The evaluation will include identifying design standards, mission package loading and unloading requirements and the comparison of various module, ship interface, life-cycle, labor and other costs with those of mission-dedicated ships.
DeBlasio currently leads the Northrop Grumman team that is tasked with integrating the LCS mission modules with their various components and the ships themselves. The prototypes of three mission packages have been designed and built by U.S. Navy laboratories. Northrop Grumman is preparing to produce the future production mission packages.
DeBlasio was chosen for the NATO post because of the success of his LCS mission package team. The team has met all design and delivery schedule milestones, and successfully installed the mission package computing environments and multivehicle communications systems into the two Littoral Combat Ships, the USS Freedom and the USS Independence. The USS Freedom has been conducting sea trials with the Surface Warfare mission package. | | Date of publication: 2010/09/09 | | Category: Nominations | | Update your profile | |

| | Debbie MELLOR | | director , management committee | | Contract Heat Treatment Association (CHTA) |
|
Debbie Mellor, MD of Keighley Laboratories, has been elected to the management committee of the Contract Heat Treatment Association (CHTA) and formally appointed a director, following the recent AGM.
She is the only woman amongst eighteen CHTA officers and one of relatively few female chief executives in the engineering industry, although she feels that the increasing application of high technology provides a route for others to follow.
Formed in 1973, the CHTA represents the majority of companies providing sub-contract heat treatment services, together totalling over 70% of UK processing capacity, and its members have more than 2,500 years’ combined metallurgical experience. The membership is diverse, ranging from the world’s largest heat treatment company to the smallest, and it embraces every variety of thermal process, from annealing and hardening, to carburising and nitriding. The CHTA promotes, protects and champions the industry, recently publishing a comprehensive buyers guide and, through its umbrella organisation the Surface Engineering Association (SEA), negotiating entry into a Climate Change Agreement (CCA) to reduce members’ energy tax.
“Keighley Laboratories is a long-standing member of the CHTA and we believe it does a valuable job, in areas like the CCA initiative, government liaison through the SEA and representing the industry as a unified body ,” says Debbie. “Becoming a member of the management committee helps raise the profile of my company, enables me to network and share intelligence with industry counterparts, and lets me play a role in representing and promoting the metallurgical sector.”
Exemplifying the opportunities for career progression, Debbie joined Keighley Labs in 1986, as an office junior in the accounts department, progressing to Company Secretary by 1997, then becoming a board director in 2007. After a spell as Acting MD, she was appointed Managing Director in September 2008, presiding over a company that this year celebrates its 90th anniversary. Offering a wide range of sub-contract heat treatment processes and a broad array of metallurgical testing and laboratory facilities, the West Yorkshire company is unique in offering the two disciplines on one site, saving time and transport costs for clients of both services. | | Date of publication: 2010/07/06 | | Category: Nominations | | Update your profile | |
