Vice President of Business Development at Sunvair, the global leader in landing gear overhaul services, I spearhead growth throughout our commercial and military aircraft repair business. During my 20 year tenure, Sunvair has grown 614% and since 2016, Sunvair's business has increased by 108%, with military sales surging by 500%. A natural relationship cultivator, I prioritize client engagement through personalized service, attending global conferences, and traveling to customers to ensure transparency while providing exceptional customer support. My day-to-day responsibilities include marketing, business development, and operations. Instrumental in developing a cohesive Sunvair brand, I facilitate all marketing initiatives, including building a cohesive brand presence through the website's redevelopment. With two sales reps reporting to me, I oversee business development activities in the plating and tooling division while also reviewing and finalizing all contract negotiations. In addition, I streamlined workflow by developing and implementing a communications hub that delivers real-time access to parts status. I've sustained decades-long professional relationships with commercial and military clients, counting commercial airlines, Alaska, Southwest, Delta, Hawaiian, Qantas and military contractors, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, NAVAIR, and the US Airforce, as customers. Before joining Sunvair, I spent my early career as a VP, then General Manager, of a large beverage distributor in California. I covered three counties in Northern and Southern California, leading the US in sales increases as the top performer in the US. A California native, I recently moved to Colorado, where I take advantage of the outdoor lifestyle, including hiking, fishing, and mountain biking.
