Frank T. Connor, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Textron, intends to retire on Feb. 28, 2025. David Rosenberg, vice president, investor relations at Textron, has been elected to succeed Connor as executive vice president and chief financial officer, effective March 1, 2025.
“On behalf of the board of directors, I would like to thank Frank for his outstanding leadership over the past 15 years,” Scott Donnelly, chairman and CEO of Textron, said. “We are grateful for the significant contributions he has made across Textron in helping to drive financial and operational excellence.”
Rosenberg has more than 24 years of experience in the aviation industry. Prior to his current role, he served as senior vice president and chief financial officer of Textron Aviation from 2018 to January 2024, having previously held leadership positions in finance at Textron Aviation. Following Textron’s acquisition of Beechcraft in 2014, as Textron Aviation’s vice president, integration and strategy, Rosenberg led the successful merger and integration of Beechcraft and Textron’s Cessna Aircraft business, which created today’s Textron Aviation segment. Prior to Textron’s acquisition of Beechcraft, Rosenberg held a series of leadership positions in financial planning, business management, strategic planning and operations with Beechcraft and its predecessor companies.
“I am proud to welcome David as our new CFO,” Donnelly said. “With his extensive background in financial management, including his leadership of the finance organization at Textron Aviation, and his deep understanding of our business, he is the ideal leader to step into this role.”
Scott Hegstrom, vice president, strategy and mergers and acquisitions of Textron, has been elected vice president, investor relations, also effective March 1, 2025.
