Brings Over 20 Years Of Financing Experience
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation
announced Monday that Sidney E. Anderson will join the company as
its new Chief Financial Officer following a brief transition period
and appointment by the Board of Directors at its next meeting on
November 6-7, 2008.
Anderson will be responsible for the management and direction of
the company’s finance and accounting organization that
includes financial analysis, accounting, information technology,
controls, budgeting, planning and forecasting.
"Sid is an outstanding addition to the senior leadership team.
He brings a new depth of experience and insight to our company at
an important time when we are expanding our domestic and
international operations and broadening our product range," said
Hawker Beechcraft Chairman and CEO Jim Schuster.
Schuster adds Anderson’s career spans more than 20 years.
He has been with United Technologies since 1999, most recently as
Vice President, Finance and Treasury for UTC’s Hamilton
Sundstrand division. Anderson brings to HBC an exceptionally
diverse experience and skill set gained within the aerospace
industry, having held a variety of positions with experience in
finance, accounting, financial planning, investor relations and
government accounting.
Anderson holds an MBA from MIT Sloan, a second Master’s
from Arizona State University, and a BA from Augustana College. He
will replace former CFO Jim Sanders, who plans to move to a new
position within HBC.
Since its March 2007 formation -- the result of the purchase of
Hawker and Beechcraft assets from Raytheon, by a consortium led by
GS Capital Partners and Onex Partners -- Hawker Beechcraft has
added more than 40 new leaders to its roster.
