New Leadership At Textron Aviation May Shift Management Focus
Textron Inc. has appointed Brian Rohloff as president and CEO of its Textron Aviation segment, effective August 31, 2026, following the retirement of long-time leader Ron Draper. Rohloff’s broad experience across customer support, sales, supply chain, and quality positions him to influence how the segment executes on its operational and customer-focused priorities. The appointment comes as Textron plans to separate its Industrial segment from its core aerospace and defense businesses, creating a focused ‘New Textron’ built around Aviation, Bell, and Systems.
