Bell Helicopter, a Textron Inc. company (NYSE: TXT), announced today that Patrick Moulay has been selected as the new Managing Director for Commercial Business for the Europe and Russia regions. Moulay’s selection was the result of a broad search to find the right talent in terms of knowledge, commitment and energy to represent Bell Helicopter in these important regions of the world.

“Patrick brings a wide breadth of experience in helicopters and in the industry; he is driven by his desire to compete and one of his strongest attributes is providing exceptional service after the sale,” said Larry D. Roberts, senior vice president of Bell Helicopter’s Commercial Business. “We are fortunate and pleased that Patrick made the decision to come to Bell Helicopter as he recognized the focus on reenergizing the commercial sector both with talent and products,” Roberts said.

Moulay comes to Bell Helicopter from Eurocopter where he last served as Vice President for Marketing and Sales assigned to the Southeast Asia Region.

“I am extremely excited to be joining the Bell Helicopter team during a time where so much is happening with the company in terms of expanding the commercial business and focusing on its product offerings,” said Moulay. “I’m looking forward to getting to know our Russian and European customers. With state-of-the-art aircraft like the Bell 429, I look forward to providing them new solutions now and in the future to meet their demanding mission needs,” he said.
