IAE International Aero Engines AG (IAE) has named Kelly Horan as its new president, succeeding Kim Kinsley who has held the position since June 2023.

Earlier this year, Horan was named vice president of V2500 programmes at Pratt & Whitney; she will serve in both roles, concurrently.

As president, Horan will lead the integrated programme structure to support the IAE V2500 programme and to ensure financial, business, technical, customer and partner commitments are achieved.

She brings more than 25 years of experience in engineering, supply chain and commercial aftermarket to the new role.

Horan most recently served as vice president of aftermarket, mature commercial engines at Pratt & Whitney.

IAE is a multinational consortium comprised of shareholders including RTX’s Pratt & Whitney, Pratt & Whitney Aero Engines International GmbH, Japanese Aero Engines Corporation and MTU Aero Engines AG.

Kinsley said: “Kelly is a proven leader with the right skill set to lead IAE into its next chapter and is well positioned to serve customers by delivering flexible offerings for the narrowbody segment, and supporting the growing customer base of the Embraer C-390 Millennium military aircraft.

“She is passionate about building high-performing teams, developing talent, championing diversity and inclusion, and collaborating cross-functionally.

“Under Kelly’s leadership, IAE will continue delivering the proven performance that V2500 customers have come to expect.”
