Jan 15 (Reuters) - GE ⁠Aerospace ⁠said ‍on Thursday it has appointed veteran executive Mohamed Ali to ‍lead its expanded commercial engines and services (CES) ​division, which will now also include the ​technology and operations team.

Russell Stokes, who led the CES team, will retire in July after spending ​29 years with the company. Stokes will serve as a special adviser ​to Chief Executive Larry Culp in the coming months ‌to support the transition, the company said.

Under Ali, who previously headed ​technology and operations (T&O), the ⁠expanded team will oversee the full commercial engine lifecycle, including ‌safety and quality, engineering, manufacturing and aftermarket services.

"Bringing the CES and T&O teams ‌together will build on the progress the T&O ‌organization achieved last year by leveraging flight deck to enable greater agility and cross-functional problem-solving ‍for our customer," Culp said on Thursday.

The company also named Jason ⁠Tonich as chief commercial sales and customer officer, who will report directly to Culp.
