Margaret S. Billson
Age: 49
Director Since: 2006
Committees: Member of the Compensation Committee; member of the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee
Principal Occupation: President, Legacy Support Group, BBA Aviation plc
Experience: Ms. Billson has served as the President of the Legacy Support Group at
BBA Aviation plc, an international provider of aviation flight support and
aftermarket aviation services and systems, since September 2009. From
November 2008 through September 2009, Ms. Billson was a self-employed
consultant. From August 2005 until November 2008, Ms. Billson was
employed in multiple capacities with Eclipse Aviation Corporation
(‘‘Eclipse’’), including as Chief Operating Officer. At the time of her
resignation from Eclipse in November 2008, Ms. Billson was serving as the
President and General Manager of the Airplane Division of Eclipse. On
November 25, 2008, Eclipse filed a petition for Chapter 11 protection in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. From
September 1997 until July 2005, Ms. Billson was employed by Honeywell
International, Inc., where she served in several roles, including as Vice
President and General Manager, Airframe Systems and Aircraft Landing
Systems and as Vice President of Engineering and Program Management.
Prior to her employment with Honeywell International, Inc., she was Vice
President of the MD-11, MD-80 and MD-90 programs at McDonnell
Douglas.
The Board nominated Ms. Billson, in part, because of her extensive
experience in the aviation industry, including operations, engineering,
technology, customer service and product support. In the course of more
than 26 years of managerial experience with large institutional, as well as
smaller entrepreneurial, aviation enterprises, Ms. Billson has developed a
deep and insightful understanding of the challenges of managing large
groups of employees in the airline industry at all levels of an organization.
The Board values the unique perspective and background Ms. Billson
contributes to its deliberations.
