MONTRÉAL, Nov. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bombardier today announced the appointment of Caroline Maso as Chief Human Resources Officer. Ms. Maso will report directly to Éric Martel, President and CEO of Bombardier and, effective early in the new year, will lead Bombardier’s worldwide Human Resources practice with a focus on ensuring Bombardier is a best-in-class employer in every country the company operates.
"I would like to welcome Caroline to Bombardier. Her long list of credentials and proven leadership track record will play an important role in taking our people strategy to the next level,” said Mr. Martel. “I am excited for her to join Bombardier’s Senior Leadership Team where her expertise in operational and strategic HR practices will contribute to Bombardier’s continued success in attracting, retaining, developing and engaging the best talent.”
Ms. Maso brings nearly 25 years of experience to Bombardier, most of which was accumulated in the aerospace industry. Throughout her career, she has demonstrated a keen focus on people, culture and innovation—all to foster diverse, equitable and inclusive work environments that encourage creativity and empower people to reach their full potential.
Prior to her appointment at Bombardier, Ms. Maso held the role of Senior Vice President, Human Resources, Canada, Romania, Algeria, LATAM and Corporate Functions at AtkinsRéalis.
