who is ceo of arconic
Arconic Inc. named former General Electric Co. executive Chip Blankenship as its new leader, roughly six months after its prior chief executive stepped down after sending an unauthorized letter to an activist investor. Mr. Blankenship, the former CEO of GE Appliances, will take over as Arconic's CEO on Jan. 15., the company said Monday. Arconic is currently being run by interim CEO David Hess, who has filled the position since April. He will stay on as a director at the company. Mr. Blankenship steps into his new role following a tumultuous period for Arconic as it has faced struggles from activist investor Elliott Management Corp. and its connection to a fatal June fire at Grenfell Tower in London.
