VERO BEACH Two weeks after Piper Aircraft President and CEO Simon Caldecott announced his retirement, the company’s board of directors elevated Chief Financial Officer John Calcagno to acting President and CEO.
Calcagno came to Piper in March 2010, about 19 months before Caldecott was hired, and was promoted to CFO in 2012, the year after Caldecott arrived.
As CFO, the U.S. Air Force veteran had responsibility for information technology, enterprise resource planning, financial reporting, treasury and cash management, cost accounting, tax and general accounting.
Previously, Calcagno was a consulting partner with The Acerra Consortium. Before that, he was vice president, director and controller with Alltel (Supply) Communications Products.
