Airbus lands new CIO from Qantas
Airbus has named Qantas' Luc Hennekens as its new CIO, for both the parent company and its civil aircraft manufacturing unit, the company said Thursday. Hennekens, who has been CIO at Qantas for the past three years, is expected to start in October. He will replace Guus Dekkers, the company’s top IT manager since 2008, who plans to leave Airbus at the end of September to pursue other opportunities, the company said. Dekkers is credited with having integrated the company’s “very fragmented” IT systems and enabling a more “efficient design and manufacturing process,” according to a company statement. Hennekens was previously chief technology officer at Qantas, for nine months starting in December 2012. At Airbus, he will be responsible for overseeing IT for the company’s products, information and communication systems for its employees, partners and airlines, and data security, the company said.<br/>
