Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions (CAES), a sector of Cobham
plc, today announced the retirement of long-standing President Jill
Kale. She will be replaced by current Chief Operating Officer Shawn
Black, effective July 1, 2019.
“We all deeply appreciate the leadership,
professionalism and many years of positive contributions that
Jill has brought to CAES and wish her the best of luck in her
retirement,” said Scott Webster, CAES Chairman of the Board. “She
guided the organization as it overcame multiple challenges,
providing strong leadership throughout her tenure.”
Jill Kale has led CAES since 2012 and most recently implemented
a new organizational structure for CAES that removed layers in the
organization and brought customers and employees closer to CAES
decision makers. Incoming CAES Sector President Shawn Black will
report to the CAES Board of Directors and brings many years of
leadership experience, from his role as a United States Marine
Corps officer to his position as Vice President and General Manager
for Leonardo DRS, prior to joining CAES.
“We welcome Shawn to his new role. He has provided
excellent operational direction to the organization
and has established a strong basis for all CAES’ business
areas to be successful,” said David Lockwood, Chief Executive
Officer of Cobham plc and Director of CAES. “We are
delighted that Shawn is able to provide a smooth
transition. His performance as Chief Operating Officer gives
us great confidence in his ability to take CAES to the next
level.”
