His departure matters because it removes a senior leader from the FAA at a time when aviation regulation, safety oversight and staffing remain closely scrutinised.

The article text provided is inaccessible, so further details about his new position, departure date and replacement are not available. The headline indicates Rocheleau previously worked in the private sector before joining the FAA.
