PLEASE SEE BELOW A SUMMARY OF MY SCIENTIFIC AND EMPIRICAL EXPERIENCE.

After re-organizing QTA Aerospace as COO and growing it in spite of the Covid19-pandemia, I was promoted by the Board Of Directors to Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Prior to my arrival the company had lost money for 12 consecutive years. As CEO I had full profit control (No losses !). The plan was to re-invent this company in record time and put it on a sure course to growth, profitability, and exponential market capitalization for listing in the stock market. The mission was accomplished in January of 2022. All KPI’s were met and purchased back 50% of the company stock. In February of 2022 the company transitioned to a private equity team.

COO - QTA AEROSPACE – June 2019 to Sept 30, 2020. QTA was the biggest independent FAA Approved Repair, Maintenance, and Overhaul (MRO) entity in Mexico, and one of the biggest in Latin America. In addition to offering aircraft painting and heavy aircraft maintenance at its maintenance center in Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, Mexico, QTA Aerospace also provided line maintenance, pernocta services, ground support, and light maintenance at 34 airports in Mexico, from Tijuana to Cancun. My mission was to re-organize, and re-structure QTA, and to make it profitable in record time. This mission was completed in less than one year with all KPI’s met, and stopping a money-losing streak of 12 consecutive years.
