engineer and has a strong background in automotive and commercial
transportation. He was appointed Executive Vice President and Group
President, TCS in May 2016 and has led the Group to achieve five
consecutive quarters of year-over-year EBITDA growth through June 2017.
Myers was previously President of Alcoa Wheel and Transportation

engineering and an MBA, both from the University of Michigan. He
currently serves on the Board of Governors (and is a prior Chairman) of
the Heavy Duty Manufacturer’s Association, and also serves on the Board
of Directors of the Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association.
“Both Eric and Tim are proven operational executives, with strong
industry experience and a track record of driving profitable growth and
serving our customers with excellence,” said Arconic Interim Chief
Executive Officer David Hess. “Eric’s strong background in aerospace and
defense position him to successfully lead EP&S as we support our
customers in meeting their aggressive ramp-ups, and drive increased
share for Arconic on the new aero engine and airframe platforms. Tim’s
deep operational and commercial experience in transportation markets
will be key to realizing valuable synergies in our transportation
portfolio in both GRP and TCS. With this change, Arconic brings GRP and
TCS under a single executive leader, further streamlining our management
structure.”

excellence and many significant contributions to Arconic. Under his
