In late January 2026, Bombardier announced a new appointment to its leadership team to deepen customer relationships.
Paul Sislian was appointed executive vice president, aircraft sales and Bombardier aftermarket services in January 2026. In this expanded role, Sislian will continue building the company’s fast-growing, service network and take charge of the worldwide aircraft sales teams, for business jets and defense. He will be supported by 30-year Bombardier veteran, Peter Likoray.
By bringing sales and services together, Sislian and his team say they will further strengthen Bombardier’s competitive edge and continue setting industry‑leading standards. Sislian has been at Bombardier for 17 years and previously led business jet manufacturing operations, Bombardier’s aerostructures business and most recently was responsible for aftermarket services and corporate strategy.
“Bombardier has successfully completed multiple strategic objectives with regard to product development, services expansion, Defense growth and financial deleveraging,” said Éric Martel, president and CEO, Bombardier. “I am proud of the high level of execution from the entire executive team as well as their individual and collective contributions to all facets of our company’s people and customer-centric culture. Today’s appointments reflect our trust in their leadership and our company’s bold ambitions for Bombardier’s immediate and long-term development.”
