Morris in February 2017. With this appointment, the number of Esterline board members expands to ten directors, nine of whom are independent under the New York Stock Exchange standards, including Covey. Curtis Reusser is the board's sole non-independent director as he is Esterline's Chairman, President & CEO.
Reusser said, "Mike is a great addition to Esterline's Board of Directors, bringing extensive experience in finance, operations and executive management to the team. His board involvement with a multi-billion dollar public company will help him get up to speed quickly on our strategic initiatives and contribute to our ongoing transformational efforts, driving value in our business and building on the momentum we have achieved."
"I'm pleased to join this skilled team of directors at Esterline," Covey said. "I look forward to working together to advance the company’s progress and achievement of its strategic objectives."
A Form 8-K reporting the appointment has been filed by Esterline today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
