Didier Kayat now chairman and CEO
Daher’s board of directors has appointed Didier Kayat as the group’s chairman of the board, succeeding Patrick Daher – who has been the chairman since 2016 and is now retiring. Kayat retains his current position as the group’s CEO.
Olivier Genis, a Daher family-appointed board director since 2020, will take over the role of vice president of the board. He is currently chairman of Eiffage Construction and a member of the Eiffage executive committee – responsibilities that will conclude at the end of this month.
The Daher board expressed its gratitude to Patrick Daher for his contribution to the group’s growth and its strengthening in all areas under his chairmanship. His commitment to key aerospace sector bodies –the French Gifas industry association, in particular –also contributed to the group’s influence in the sector, the board added. (cj)
