Giuseppe Giordo is the new Chairman and CEO of Radia's Italian operations, the company developing the WindRunner cargo aircraft. This strategic appointment marks a significant step in the company's expansion in Europe and underscores the intent to strengthen industrial leadership in clean energy and defense logistics innovation.

"Italy is proving to be a key partner, not only for its industrial capabilities but also for its shared commitment to accelerating the energy transition", stated the company's CEO, Mark Lundstrom. Regarding Giordo, who brings over three decades of executive experience, he affirmed: "We are excited to welcome Giuseppe to lead our activities in Italy. His proven leadership in the aerospace and defense sectors will be instrumental in expanding WindRunner into global markets".

Among the companies previously led by Giordo are Alenia Aermacchi, Fincantieri, Aero Vodochody, and Saudi Arabian Military Industries, where he held roles as chairman, CEO, board member, and senior executive. He has contributed to strategic breakthroughs and partnerships with major global corporations such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, Naval Group, IAI (Institute of International Affairs), and Rheinmetall, working across the most significant markets worldwide.

Radia is a partner of leading European aerospace brands such as Leonardo and Magroup Magnaghi Aerospace in Italy and Aernnova in Spain. These collaborations, along with others in France and Germany, are expected to generate € 3.7 billion in investments and create over 4,000 highly skilled jobs in the European Union over the next five years. Italy could potentially become a key hub for Radia's European operations, which aims to forge a strong transatlantic partnership with the United States.

The WindRunner is one of the largest aircraft in the world; according to the manufacturer, it features a cargo volume 12 times greater than a Boeing 747 and can land on unpaved runways. It operates across multiple sectors, including wind energy, handling the transportation of blades, which is too complex to undertake by land.
