Embraer S.A. has appointed Felipe Santana Santiago de Lima as Executive Vice President, Financial & Investor Relations, effective today, April 13, 2026. The move fills the top finance role vacated by the recent resignation of former CFO Antonio Carlos Garcia, ensuring internal continuity in financial leadership.
Santana, Embraer’s Global Director of Treasury, brings 18 years of company experience in key areas including financial operations, treasury, insurance, customer finance, shared services, and risk management.
His expertise spans corporate finance, capital markets, liability management, aircraft financing, investor relations, and team leadership focused on financial discipline and capital allocation.
The board’s selection of an internal candidate underscores stability amid the prior leadership transition, where CEO Francisco Gomes Neto briefly served as interim finance chief following Garcia’s April 6 departure.
Embraer states the appointment maintains unchanged strategy, operations, and financial commitments, supporting execution of its business plan for sustainable growth in the competitive aerospace market.
