Archer Announces Experienced and Skilled Board Nominees
Ahead of Merger with Atlas Crest Investment Corp.

 

Archer rounds out nominations to the combined company’s board of directors with diverse and seasoned talent from the aviation, automotive, technology, and finance & consulting sectors

 

Nominations include Deborah Diaz, former CTO and deputy CIO of NASA, Maria Pinelli, former Global Vice Chair of E&Y and Fred Diaz, former CEO of Mitsubishi Motors North America

 

Latest announcement comes after Archer announced last week the nomination of Oscar Munoz, former United Airlines Chairman and CEO, to join the post-closing board of directors

 

Board appointments are set to bolster Archer’s position as a strategic leader in the eVTOL space

 

PALO ALTO, CA., August 4, 2021- Archer Aviation Inc. (“Archer”), a leading Urban Air Mobility company and developer of all-electric vertical take-off and landing (“eVTOL”) aircraft, and Atlas Crest Investment Corp. (“Atlas Crest”) (NYSE: ACIC) today announced Deborah Diaz, Maria Pinelli, and Fred Diaz as nominees for the post-closing board of directors. These nominations will add three additional diverse and seasoned executives to the combined company’s board from the aviation, automotive, technology, and finance & consulting sectors. These nominees will become directors of the combined company following the completion of the proposed business combination of Archer with Atlas Crest.

 

Commenting on the appointments, Brett Adcock, co-founder and co-CEO of Archer, said “We couldn’t be more grateful that such an accomplished and distinct group of individuals have chosen to join us as we embark on this remarkable journey to change the future of transportation for generations to come.”

 

“To attract such diversity of skills from established industries is a huge win for Archer and we’re excited to work with these world-class business and strategic minds to shape our route to market,” added Adam Goldstein, co-founder and co-CEO of Archer.

 

Deborah Diaz

 

Deborah Diaz served as the CTO and deputy CIO of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”) from 2009 to 2016, where she was responsible for NASA’s global system infrastructure, risk management, financial and regulatory stewardship, innovation and technology infusion.

Previously, Ms. Diaz also held executive leadership roles at the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. We believe that Ms. Diaz’s decades of senior level international business experience, coupled with her public corporate board and advisory board director experiences with Primis Financial, Section, Intel, Dell, Equinix and many others in the private sector and in government, will add significantly to Archer’s roadmap towards their full commercializing of eVTOL aircraft.
