Barnes Aerospace has appointed Michael Mosley as chief executive officer, effective Jan. 26, bringing in an aerospace industry veteran with extensive experience.
Thomas Mepham, who has been serving as interim CEO and a member of the Barnes Aerospace board of directors, will transition to the role of executive chair of the board.
Mosley most recently served as chief operating officer and president of castings and metals at Precision Castparts Corp., a global manufacturer of complex products for aerospace and industrial markets.
Before that, he worked at Rolls-Royce, where he held senior leadership positions across operations, manufacturing, supply chain and global aerospace programs.
Mosley has been a member of the Barnes Aerospace board since May 2025.
Barnes Aerospace, based in Bristol, provides aftermarket component repair and overhaul services and manufactures highly engineered parts primarily for aeroengines.
Last year, Barnes was acquired by private equity firm Apollo Global Management in a $3.6 billion deal.
Mosley holds a master of science in engineering business management from the University of Warwick and is a fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society.
