After four months on the job as president of Pratt & Whitney Canada, Alain Bellemare intends to guide a company that becomes increasingly global in nature while capitalizing on the technology embodied in its current turbine engines. Former P&WC president Gilles Ouimet has been elevated to chairman, where he remains in a decision-making capacity, exercising high-level strategic direction of the company.
Asked about his strategic vision for Pratt & Whitney Canada, Bellemare, 41, replied, “We are going to keep driving the business very aggressively for the long run, exceeding customer expectations. On the service side, we will continue expanding our aftermarket product support. We now have over 37,000 engines flying in 180 different countries. It’s clear this is going to be a major focus over the next few years.” P&WC has 21 service centers on six continents.
