Bombardier Inc. replaced the head of its troubled train unit after a series of missteps on key contracts.
Danny Di Perna, a former Pratt & Whitney executive who led Bombardier’s aerostructures and engineering business, was appointed president of the Transportation unit, the company said in a statement Thursday. He succeeds Laurent Troger, who is stepping down after 15 years with the company. The changes take effect immediately.
