DIRECTOR
Cobham plc announces the appointment of General (Ret) Norton
Schwartz as a Non-executive Director, effective from 1 January
2018. He will also become a member of the Board's Remuneration and
Risk Committees.
General Schwartz retired from military service in October 2012
after serving over 39 years in the US Air Force. He was the 19th
Chief of Staff of the US Air Force from 2008 -2012 and a member of
the US Joint Chiefs of Staff. He also held a number of other senior
military positions including Commander US Transportation Command,
Director for Operations and Director of the Joint Staff and Deputy
Commander of US Special Operations Command.
He sits on the Board of Wesco Aircraft Holdings, Inc, and the
USA Board of Directors of CAE Inc, both NYSE listed companies. He
is currently the President and CEO of Business Executives for
National Security (BENS) in the US, a position he has held since
2013. BENS applies best practice business solutions to improve the
performance of government national security partners.
General Schwarz has a BSc from the US Air Force Academy and an
MA in Business Administration from Central Michigan University.
Michael Wareing, Cobham Chairman, commented:
"I am delighted to welcome Norton to Cobham's Board. His
distinguished career with the US Air Force, with the US Department
of Defense being Cobham's largest end-customer, his NYSE listed
company experience with Wesco and CAE and his current role with
BENS are all extremely relevant to Cobham.
This follows the appointment of John McAdam as Cobham's Senior
Independent Director on 3 August 2017 and the recent announcement
of René Médori as Audit Committee Chair Elect, due to join the
Board on 1 January 2018."
Cobham confirms there are no further disclosures to be made
under rule 9.6.13 of the Listing Rules.
