As a member of the CFM executive team, Imbourg will be responsible for overseeing programs carried out by CFM, the company said. Along with his counterpart at GE, Allan Paxson, he also will be a primary interface between the joint venture partners.
CFM, headquartered in Ohio, has delivered nearly 33,000 CFM56 and LEAP engines to airline customers worldwide and is one of the most successful aircraft engine suppliers in aviation history. The company was formed in 1974 and the joint venture agreement extends to 2040.
