Executive changes in Rockwell Collins’ Interior Systems, Information Management Services businesses
Rockwell Collins has named Dave Nieuwsma as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the company’s Interior Systems business based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
He succeeds Werner Lieberherr who is leaving the company after helping to lead the successful integration of the B/E Aerospace business, which was acquired by Rockwell Collins in April 2017. Nieuwsma will report directly to Rockwell Collins Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Kelly Ortberg. Previously Nieuwsma was Senior Vice President of the company’s Information Management Services business.
LeAnn Ridgeway has been named Vice President and General Manager of Information Management Services, based in Annapolis, Maryland. She was previously Vice President and General Manager of the integration of the B/E Aerospace business.
In a related move, Rockwell Collins also announced that Information Management Services will now become part of the company’s Commercial Systems business unit to further capitalise on customers’ increasing need for aviation connectivity solutions. Ridgeway will report to Kent Statler, executive vice president and chief operating officer.
