The board of directors of Marenco Swisshelicopter AG (MSH) welcomes André Borschberg as a new member. Borschberg will join the board as a non-executive director with immediate effect, subject to confirmation at MSH’s next shareholders’ meeting in July.
The former Swiss Air Force jet and helicopter pilot and co-founder of the Solar Impulse project, the first ’round-the- world solar flight, will bring his passion for aviation, his pioneering spirit and managerial expertise to the MSH board of directors.
“In the global aviation landscape, MSH’s development and roll-out of a next generation helicopter made in Switzerland is a landmark project of our time,” said Borschberg. “As an aviation enthusiast and as a Swiss, I am excited and proud to become part of the MSH venture.”
“It is a pleasure to have André joining the team,” said Philippe Harache, chairman of the board of directors. “As a non-executive-director of MSH, he will not only exercise overview of the company, but we will also benefit from his strategic guidance on MSH’s path to becoming the first full-fledged Swiss global helicopter provider and manufacturer.”
