VALENCIA, Calif., February 24, 2016 – Wesco Aircraft Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: WAIR), a leading provider of comprehensive supply chain management services to the global aerospace industry, today announced that it has appointed Daniel C. Snow as executive vice president and chief supply chain officer. Mr. Snow will oversee all of Wesco’s supply chain operations, including strategic sourcing, materials management and procurement.
Mr. Snow joined Wesco Aircraft in July 2015 as executive vice president, strategy and business process development; he will continue to oversee this function in his new role. Mr. Snow succeeds Robert Hanley, who has left the company to pursue other interests.
Dave Castagnola, president and chief executive officer, said, “I am very pleased that Dan will lead this critical role at Wesco. He has many years of strategic supply chain and program management experience, including significant leadership roles at Goodrich/UTC Aerospace Systems. At Wesco, Dan has been instrumental in accelerating the integration of Haas and establishing standard business processes across the company. I believe the time is right to bring his considerable years of experience in the aerospace industry to drive further improvement in our supply chain operations, particularly as we move forward with sales, inventory and operations planning (SIOP) initiatives.”
Castagnola continued, “I would like to thank Robert Hanley for his dedicated service to Wesco. We wish him much success in his future endeavors.”
Prior to joining Wesco, Mr. Snow was vice president and general manager, landing systems, at UTC Aerospace Systems (UTC Aerospace), one of the world’s largest suppliers of technologically advanced aerospace and defense products and a division of United Technologies Corp.
