Miami, Florida, May 15, 2006
Anthony Imparato has joined EADS Barfield as the Senior Vice President - Quality, with responsibilities across the company’s business activities of aircraft support, service and instrument repair.
Imparato brings nearly 30 years of experience in the airline and aerospace sectors, having held senior level positions in quality, operations, sales, supply chain management, training and technical services.
