AAR President, CEO John Holmes Selected as Next Board Chairman

John Holmes, president and CEO of AAR Corp., has been appointed to serve as chairman of the board of directors at the aviation services provider.

He will succeed David Storch, who has held the chairman role since 2005 and will retire from the board on Jan. 10, 2023, AAR said Wednesday.

Holmes initially joined Wood Dale, Illinois-based company in 2001 as director of mergers and acquisitions and later served as general manager of the parts trading business unit.

He will focus on driving corporate growth strategies once he assumes chairmanship.

Prior to joining AAR, Holmes worked at William Blair as an investment banking analyst, according to his LinkedIn profile.
