Leonardo has announced that Marco Viola, currently in charge of leading Kopter's integration, will look after the overall governance of activities at Kopter on behalf of Leonardo Helicopters. This step is taken as an interim solution as Kopter's CEO Andreas Lowenstein has decided to step down from his current role and to pursue further opportunities outside Leonardo. His successor is under evaluation.

In order to guarantee a swift and seamless transition, Leonardo will ensure the continuity of all activities and operations as well as of the integration progress.
