Michael D is a Chairman and CEO at EOS Aircraft. Colleagues describe them as "Michael is a unique individual. As smart as they come, as dedicated as they come, as persevering as they come, and uniquely talented at bringing some great teams together. I have seen this especially in the aerospace world. Michael is a very special player in this very complex aerospace program world. it's been my great pleasure to be his colleague." and "My first involvement with Michael was on the X-35 program where he launched the first Alaska Native Corp-owned composites manufacturing company to support DoD diversity goals. Under USAF’s Mentor-Protégé program Lockheed Martin concluded a contract, which was well executed. Michael and I have been close friends since that contract i.e. nearly 20 years. Our paths actively crossed when he was the founder of Q Aerospace, where I now serve as a board member. What makes Michael unique? Michael is one of those very rare individuals which has effectively combined the skill sets of an "innovator" with those of a "leader", thereby getting his innovative concepts to market. He is untiring in the pursuit and closure of new concepts which provide a benefit to the customer. Coupled with his communication skills, he is capable of securing both advocacy and, where necessary, financial backing of his concepts. His leadership execution style is to assemble the best talent, i.e. technical, marketing, finance, etc., create / communicate a vision and provide a win-win solution for all parties. In short, I am staunch zealot for Michael, what his does, how he does it, and the products that result. "
