Bell Helicopter has named Matthew J. Hasik executive vice president, Commercial Business. Hasik will lead the combined Commercial Sales and Marketing and Commercial Programs organization. Hasik succeeds Danny Maldonado, a 24-year company veteran who has been selected to be president and CEO of Textron Financial.
“We have seen tremendous success with our commercial programs under Matt’s leadership, including the launch of the Bell 429WLG and Bell 412EPI, the first flight of the Bell 505 Jet Ranger X and continued progress with the Bell 525 Relentless,” said John Garrison, president and CEO of Bell Helicopter. “Matt has an intimate knowledge of our products and will play a key role as we continue to expand global sales and achieve certification for our new products.”
