Indra Appoints New CEO from Renault

Spanish defence company Indra (BME:IDR) has appointed Josep Maria Recasens as chief executive, starting in mid-June. Recasens previously served as chief strategy officer at Renault Group (EURONEXT:RNO).

Recasens' Career

Recasens has been Renault's chief strategy officer since November. Before that, he worked at Renault's electric car division Ampere as COO and then CEO.

Management Changes

Indra, 28% owned by the Spanish government, did not renew the contract of former CEO Jose Vicente de los Mozos. Chairman Angel Escribano resigned a month ago over conflict-of-interest allegations.

Defence Spending Boost

Indra is expected to benefit from a €10.5 billion increase in defence spending announced by the Spanish government last year.
