Stangarone, as VP, corporate comms., for North America, is based in the company’s US headquarters in Fort Lauderdale.
He stepped down from Wichita-based Cessna in early August with plans to relocate to the East Coast. He led Cessna’s communications for six years after PR stints at Rolls-Royce, Fairchild Dorner and Litton.
Embraer, created by the Brazilian government in 1969 as Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica, is the world’s third largest commercial maker of planes and is based in Sao Jose dos Campos.
The company was privatized in the mid-1990s and went public via IPOs in New York and Brazil in 2000. Revenues for 2011 are projected in the $5.6B to $5.8B range
