Mr. Brown is currently President and Chief Executive Officer of CAE Inc. He is also currently a Director of CAE Inc., ACE Aviation Holdings Inc. and Chairman of Aeroplan Holding GP Inc. After a brief career with the Canadian Armed Forces, Mr. Brown entered the Canadian Public Service in 1971. Following several positions with Atomic Energy Canada, the Public Service Commission and the Treasury Board, he assumed responsibility for economic development policy with the Council of Maritime Premiers in 1976. From 1978 to 1986, he held various senior positions in federal ministries with economic vocations, including the post of Associate Deputy Minister in the Department of Regional Industrial Expansion, his last position before leaving the public service. Mr. Brown joined Bombardier Inc. as Vice-President, Corporate Development in February 1987. Two years later, he was promoted to Senior Vice-President responsible for corporate development, as well as for strategic planning. In this capacity, among other projects, he led Bombardiers' acquisition of Short Brothers in Northern Ireland. In 1990, he was assigned to the aerospace sector of Bombardier, first as President of Canadair, then as President of the Aerospace Group North America, and finally as President and Chief Operating Officer of Bombardier Aerospace, the unit responsible for all of Bombardier's activities in this sector. Under his leadership, Bombardier Aerospace grew to become the third largest civilian aircraft manufacturer in the world, and the largest supplier of jet aircraft for regional air transportation and the global leader in the business aircraft segment. From February 1999 to December 2002, Mr. Brown was the President and Chief Executive Officer of Bombardier Inc. Under his leadership, Bombardier positioned itself as the world leader of the rail transportation equipment industry and returned the Recreational Products business to profitability. In addition, during the period he was President and Chief Executive Officer, Bombardier was twice voted Canada's Most Respected Company in a Globe and Mail poll of Canadian chief executive officers. In March 2003, Mr. Brown joined the Board of Air Canada and was Chairman of the Board from May 2003 to September 2004. During his tenure, the Company was restructured and successfully exited from CCAA (Companies Creditors Arrangement Act) protection. This restructuring process was the largest, most complex and most publicly scrutinized restructuring process in Canadian history. He has been deeply involved in the Montreal charity organization of Centraide for many years and is also a passionate proponent of higher education and advocate for making Montreal and its universities competitive with the best in the world. Mr. Brown holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from the Royal Military College, Kingston, Ontario. He also attended the Advanced Management Program at the Harvard University Business School in 1983. Mr. Brown has received honorary doctorates from University of Montreal, Concordia University in Montreal, University of Ottawa, Ryerson University in Toronto and Royal Roads University in British Columbia.
