I am truly honored and thrilled to join the Leadership Team at AVIAN in a newly created position as Vice President Strategic Sales, targeting essential Partners and Inventories. Over the previous two-years since ‘Go-Live’, Ian Gurekian, Steve Rugg, and the entire Team, have built and worked extremely hard to launch AVIAN Inventory Management, LLC into a major Distribution Center and Industry Player in an already crowded space. Our relationship with Embraer is a very differentiating business model, leveraging a long-term financial Capital solution for a unique spare parts strategy to serve Embraer’s customer base, as a start. AVIAN has consolidated and is actively selling all of Embraer’s worldwide surplus spare part inventory from the new and expandable 72,000 sq’ ft facility in Orlando, Florida built-out in October of 2021, a few miles from MCO Int’l Airport. Our agreement with Embraer for exclusive purchasing, marketing and distribution rights of surplus spans all the commercial and executive jet aircraft platforms and parts. But our model is scalable to accommodate future OEMs as well. Avian speeds our inventory to market, through contracted Sales Channel Partners (or “SCPs”) which are akin to an OEM Distributor, both physically and virtually embedded into our operation. The SCPs are the customer-facing entities, and include incumbents DASI, VSE, and Regional Airline Support Group (RASG) currently, with two others joining the team shortly. After 16 years in the commercial Airline supply-chain Sourcing segment, I am pleased to again be serving the OEMs in the Supply-side of our industry and thrilled to be aligned with such a respected Team of professionals! Join us as MRO, ACPC and other conferences this Year!MPK #www.avianparts.com
