Today, TASK is very pleased to announce that Mr. Antonios Nikopoulos has been promoted to the position of Vice President of Operations. He has managed Finance, Supply Chain, and Aircrew Flight Equipment activities for seven years at TASK. In his new role as Vice President of Operations, Antonios, “Tony,” will lead Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Finance efforts for TASK, reporting directly to the President. Mr. Nikopoulos will maintain his role as corporate Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and take on the additional team leadership position as company Vice President for the stand-up of new facilities and development of manufacturing capabilities.
Tony is an original founder of TASK. His background in the development of TASK’s Aircrew Flight Equipment business, his in-depth knowledge of safety systems regulations critical to the business of TASK, and his successful implementation of AS9100D into the TASK way of doing business makes him the perfect candidate to take on this additional role. Tony has been key to the founding and the growth of TASK.
“Tony started, and has grown the Aircrew Flight Equipment business for TASK over the past seven years, and more importantly, has developed key relationships with suppliers and customers,” said Bob LaFrance, company President and CEO. “He is a key to our success and will lead the organization going forward along with other key members of the team. We are very excited to see where Tony’s new leadership role will take the company.”
