Today, TP Aerospace announces upcoming changes to its executive management team, reflecting a planned transition and continued strengthening of leadership as the company progresses with its strategic priorities.
Felix Ammann will step down from his position as Group Chief Operating Officer (COO) at the end of March 2026 to focus on consulting services and other non-executive engagements. Felix joined TP Aerospace in January 2023 and has played an important role in further developing globally harmonized and scalable operations supporting the company’s development and growth.
The Board of Directors and executive management would like to thank Felix for his dedication and contributions to TP Aerospace and wish him every success in the next chapter of his professional career.
Effective from April 2026, Dirk Hanenberg will join TP Aerospace as Group Chief Operating Officer, succeeding Felix Ammann. Dirk brings extensive experience from the aviation services industry. Most recently, he served as Managing Director at Fokker Services Group, where he held senior responsibility for operational performance and development.
With over 15 years of experience in aviation MRO and component services, Dirk has led complex customer programs and international operations, overseeing MRO operations, supply chain and product management, as well as large-scale performance improvement initiatives, with a strong focus on operational excellence and scalable service delivery.
The appointment of Dirk Hanenberg reflects TP Aerospace’s continued focus on operational excellence and scalability in support of its long‑term strategy.
As previously announced, Chief Financial Officer Tinneke Torpe has decided to pursue new professional opportunities and will step down from her role at the end of March 2026. Tinneke has played an integral role in strengthening TP Aerospace’s financial governance and supporting the company’s strategic and organizational development across finance, legal and IT during a period of continued growth.
TP Aerospace is pleased to announce that Thomas Helbo will succeed Tinneke Torpe as Chief Financial Officer. Thomas joins from the private‑equity backed Vetopia, where he held the position of Group CFO. He brings significant experience in financial leadership, value creation, and working with growth‑oriented organizations.
The Board would like to thank Tinneke Torpe for her valuable contribution to TP Aerospace and welcome Thomas Helbo to the executive management team.
