Daher names Michel Denis as chief executive officer

Daher has appointed Michel Denis as chief executive officer, with the change due to take effect on 1 July 2026. The French aerospace and industrial group said the appointment was made by its Board of Directors, chaired by Thibault Scaramanga.

The company is also introducing a strengthened executive leadership structure, with Aymeric Daher taking the role of executive deputy chief executive officer. Daher’s plan pairs Denis at group level with Aymeric Daher in a supporting leadership position, a structure intended to preserve continuity while sharpening top-level governance.

The appointment adds a notable leadership change at one of France’s established aerospace groups. For the company, the move places new management responsibilities at the centre of its near-term strategy as the transition unfolds in early July.
