Savannah, Georgia - October 8, 2001 - Mike Rowland has been appointed vice president for Gulfstream100®/Gulfstream 200® programs for Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. The G100 and G200 aircraft are recent additions to the Gulfstream business aircraft.

"Mike has an excellent background in program management," said Pres Henne, Gulfstream senior vice president, programs. "He is well suited to lead this two-aircraft, multi-site, international effort."
Rowland, a 13-year Gulfstream employee, has previously held executive positions in the company's program office and military marketing department. He most recently led the company's EC-37 program, Gulfstream's special mission application of its GV aircraft.
Prior to joining Gulfstream, Rowland was director of program management for Textron Aerostructures Corp., which is now known as Aerostructures Corp. He earned a bachelor's degree in Industrial Management from the Georgia Institute of Technology and an MBA from Georgia State University.
