Kinsley succeeds Earl Exum, who has held the position since 2020 and moves on to become chair of the IAE AG Board of Directors and continue as Vice President, Mature Commercial Engines at Pratt & Whitney.
Kinsley, IAE's first female President, has concurrently been named Vice President, V2500 programmes at Pratt & Whitney and assumes both roles effective immediately and will report to Exum.
'Kim is uniquely positioned to take IAE forward,' said Exum. 'The V2500 engine has seen many great successes over IAE's 40-year history, and we are confident Kim will build on that legacy as we look to the future. Kim has a wealth of experience from within and outside the aerospace industry and will ensure we continue to deliver the proven performance our customers expect.'
Kinsley will lead IAE’s integrated programme structure to support the continuous improvement of Pratt & Whitney's V2500 programme. She joins Pratt & Whitney from Collins Aerospace, where she served as Vice President, Environmental & Airframe Control Systems – Power & Controls.
