c) The Executive Committee During 2023 the Executive Committee met 4 times. On 12 October 2023 the Company announced changes to its top management and Executive Committee, to take effect from 1 January 2024. The changes include the creation of a designated Commercial Aircraft leadership team, operating under the helm of Christian Scherer. The Executive Committee is comprised of the heads of operating segments and the heads of certain key functions within the Company, including members of the Commercial Aircraft leadership team. The composition of the Executive Committee and top management of Airbus SE as of 1 January 2024 is reflected in the table below.

The CEO is the only Executive Director within the Board of Directors and represents the Company on the Board of Directors. But, depending on the topic, he usually asks the responsible EC member to join him at meetings of the Board of Directors to present the financials (CFO), programme/product topics (Division heads), HR matters (CHRO) or any other topic where a specialist is needed. This approach allows the Board Members to get to know the EC members and equips them to make judgements when it comes to decisions about key positions.
