Ground handling specialist Swissport has announced that its president and CEO, Eric Born, has agreed to extend his contract for a further year.
The agreement is subject to the company successfully completing a planned debt refinancing by September 2019, and will see Born extend his position as president and CEO to the end of 2020.
The contract extension and the refinancing will ensure strategic continuity and financial stability, enabling Swissport to further consolidate its leading market position,” said the company in a statement.
“After a successful 2018 business year, this is a signal of continuity for Swissport’s customers, its employees, partners and investors.”
Born has been in his current role at Swissport since August 2015, having previously held roles involving creating value in private equity owned and publicly listed organizations across retail, logistics and aviation services.
“During his tenure, he and his management team have continuously extended Swissport’s global leadership by driving organic growth and through targeted acquisitions, while streamlining the structure and improving the result,” added Swissport.
