Mike Arcamone Begins His New Assignment February 1st
Bombardier Aerospace announced Thursday the appointment of
Michele (Mike) Arcamone as President, Bombardier Commercial
Aircraft effective February 1, 2012. Mr. Arcamone succeeds Gary R.
Scott, who retired on October 1, 2011. “We are extremely
pleased to welcome Mike Arcamone to Bombardier Aerospace,”
said Guy C. Hachey, President and Chief Operating Officer,
Bombardier Aerospace. “Mike comes to us with a brilliant
track record throughout his 30-year career in the automotive
industry. He brings a unique background of international experience
to our team. His hands-on leadership approach and wealth of
experience in operations and program management will benefit our
Commercial Aircraft business unit, especially as we drive towards
bringing the CSeries aircraft to market.”
A native of Montréal, Québec, Mr. Arcamone

Chief Executive Officer, GM Korea, based in Seoul, where he was
accountable for a multi-billion dollar organization with export
sales to 150 customers. Since joining General Motors in 1980, Mr.
Arcamone successfully delivered multiple large-scale projects and
developed a global perspective through his leadership roles in
North America, Europe and, in particular, Asia, which
is also a key growth region for Bombardier. Mr. Arcamone completed
his undergraduate studies at Concordia University and holds a

“I am humbled by the opportunity to lead
Bombardier’s Commercial Aircraft business unit and excited to
be returning to my home country,” said Mike Arcamone.
“While I am new to the Aerospace industry, I am joining a
strong and knowledgeable leadership team, and our combined
expertise will ensure the long-term prosperity of this business
unit. We are at a pivotal moment, both in ensuring the continued
success of the Q400 NextGen and CRJ NextGen aircraft and in moving
towards the testing and production of the CSeries aircraft. I look
forward to putting my knowledge and experience to work and
delivering on our commitments to our stakeholders,” he said.
