United Technologies Corp. announced it will streamline its aerospace organization and leadership structure to provide greater focus on serving customers. Alain Bellemare, President & Chief Executive Officer of UTC Propulsion & Aerospace Systems (PAS), has elected to leave the company at the end of the month.

He will continue to serve as a consultant to UTC. As a result of Bellemare's decision and the successful integration of Goodrich Corporation, UTC is streamlining its aerospace operations by eliminating the PAS organization. Pratt & Whitney and UTC Aerospace Systems (UTAS), both formerly under the PAS structure, will continue as stand-alone business units.

As a result of this organizational change, Pratt & Whitney President Paul Adams will report directly to Hayes, as will Dave Gitlin, who has been promoted to President, UTC Aerospace Systems, from his former position as leader of that company's Aircraft Systems segment. Also reporting directly to Hayes will be Mike Dumais, who has been appointed to a new position as UTC Senior Vice President, Strategic Planning. Dumais, who formerly led UTC Aerospace Systems'Power, Controls & Sensing Systems segment, will help assess capital allocation strategies and opportunities for portfolio and organizational changes across the corporation.
