Yves Galland to Head Boeing France
Boeing France, Boeing's new beachhead on Airbus's home island,
will be run by Yves Galland, an attorney and seasoned business
and public affairs professional who headed Europ Assistance, according
to Phil Condit, Boeing chairman and CEO. Galland will set up shop
in Paris, smack in the middle of the Ile de France. "France
is a strong aerospace market," Condit said. He wants to take
what he perceives is a good relationship with French and other
European customers and suppliers and move it up to a "new
level." Galland will help Boeing "better understand
the business environment in France," according to Condit.
And how. Galland is dialed into the inner circles of French politics,
having been a VP of the European Parliament. He's also been president
of Parti Radical, a councilor of Paris and one of the mayor's
top advisors.
