Sam Marnick appointed President of Latecoere Americas
Latecoere, a tier 1 supplier to major international aircraft manufacturers, is pleased to announce the appointment of Sam Marnick as President of Latecoere Americas, effective now. She will report to the Group CEO, André-Hubert Roussel, and will be directly responsible for Aerostructures Operations Americas.
Sam brings deep experience in the American aerospace ecosystem. Her leadership will help accelerate
the development of the Group in this region to focus on delivering against growing customer needs for
products & services as well as driving growth given the extensive capability set across complex
aerostructures assembly, composites, machining and interconnection systems across all different
production sites. Sam has been a member of Latecoere’s Board of Directors since April 2024 and has
had the benefit of visiting many of the Group sites since her appointment.
Sam Marnick commented: “I am excited to start in my new role at Latecoere. Having seen first-hand the
capabilities we have in a number of our sites and having met many people on the team, I believe there
is huge potential for this business ahead as we seek to deliver on the growing needs of our customers. There is obviously a lot of work ahead as we are still operating in an environment with significant supply
chain disruption which needs to be managed.”
Sam has spent most of her career in the American aerospace industry, particularly at Spirit
AeroSystems. Most recently, as Chief Operating Officer (COO) and President of the Commercial
business, she led a team of over 12,000 employees across nine sites in the United States, Europe and
Asia, managing a $5 billion P&L. Her scope included manufacturing operations and the supply chain.
A search to identify a replacement for Sam’s board position has been launched, and Latecoere intends
to appoint that replacement as soon as possible.
