Bombardier has realigned its international sales leadership team with the departure of Christophe Degoumois, who is leaving to pursue personal opportunities. Degoumois had held a number of sales roles within Bombardier over the nearly past two decades, most recently as v-p of international sales.

“We are grateful for Christophe’s 17 years of dedicated service at Bombardier, as well as the team he has built, now ready to take on broader responsibilities,” said Peter Likoray, senior v-p of sales for new aircraft. “Christophe played an important role in creating a positive experience for our customers and instilling a sales culture where customers’ needs are central to what we do.”

As part of the transition, Bombardier named Emmanuel Bornand as v-p of sales for Europe, Russia, CIS, the Middle East, and Africa. Bornand has served with Bombardier since 2008 and previously had been a regional v-p for Europe. 

Stéphane Leroy, meanwhile, is adding sales in Asia-Pacific and China to his role of v-p of sales for specialized aircraft. Leroy has a 20-year background with Bombardier and has spent eight years in Asia.

Bombardier also named Michael Anckner v-p of sales for U.S. corporate fleets, specialized aircraft, and Latin America. Most recently v-p of worldwide Learjet sales, corporate fleets, and specialized aircraft, Anckner has served with Bombardier for 11 years, including as a director for Latin America.
