HAECO Global Engine Support (formerly Jet Engine Solutions) is a Dallas,Texas based Engine MRO specializing in quick-turn repairs, lease returns for commercial aircraft along with hospital and in-field maintenance for customers worldwide. GES Dallas, along with Amsterdam and Hong Kong now complete HAECO’s strategy to grow its Global Engine Support business.

• Responsibilities - Directed a group of 4 managers with 70+ individual contributors and contractors that oversee supply chain exclusive of warehouse operation. Responsibility includes, inventory allocation modeling and alignment, repair vendor selection, contracting and management, as well as on-site part management at heavy check locations. Previously oversaw all sourcing and contracting for all aviation related materials - Successfully managed the administration of the Rotable expense ($243MM) and capital ($97.9MM) budgets through effective management of asset purchases and off-wing inventory repair costs. • Major accomplishments: - Implemented a wholesale change to the management of the supply chain by grouping all functions into similar areas. The groupings allowed a better visualization of areas of opportunity within the supply chain. Metrics were developed that help individuals see how they impacted the FedEx operation and how they could assist individual contributors in improving the health of the supply chain. - Co-lead of Component Reliability effort. Initiative targeted the improvement of aircraft part reliability. Key targets that were addressed are Rogue Units, Rogue Aircraft and Bad From Stock parts. Team used LEAN techniques to drive standard process work for the component analysis and issue resolution. The team addressed 100 rogue parts in 100 days with an estimated savings of over $1M. - Materiel Re-invention Project Lead. Project is designed to improve inventory service and reliability levels while reducing expense and capital.Execution of the program centers on three key aspects; revised sourcing strategy, improved inventory management and organizational redesign. The estimate for the savings/cost avoidance of the project is estimated at $346M through FY15. - Aeroxchange Board Member: Provide leadership regarding AEX business strategy both short and long term including major start-up activities and new product/service development.

• Responsibilities - Directed all Base Maintenance Business Planning activity across aircraft conversions, aircraft heavy maintenance and propulsion operations. Develop and control the total Base Maintenance expense and capital spend. Co-lead for implementation of LEAN activities throughout the Air Operations Division. - Aircraft Conversion: Financial oversite of Airbus, Boeing and Douglas aircraft conversions ($300M Capital). Primary contact for vendor contract administration and management. - Aircraft Heavy Maintenance: Organization determines all aircraft heavy maintenance allocation requirements. Provide direct fiscal control of all vendor activity: 500+ events with $280M in expense. - Propulsion Operations (transition responsibility Feb 2008 to MD Propulsion): Central contact for contract negotiation for engine repairs with 3rd party suppliers. Directly accountable for annual expense spend of $486M at outside vendors. • Major accomplishments: - Aircraft Out of Service Project Core member of the leadership team that evaluated, planned and executed the initiative that targeted the reduction in the number of aircraft in heavy maintenance. The initiative deployed LEAN principles throughout the maintenance hangar, aircraft planning and on-site materiel management cutting most aircraft span times in half. The project provided Maintenance allocations back to the system. - Implemented Hoshin Kanri (Policy deployment) with Managing Director team. All key members of the Managing Director group met weekly to develop an integrated plan that wove primary objectives together. Plan identified areas of opportunity and areas of conflict between organizational objectives. Process allowed for an alignment in vision across all Directors.

• Responsibilities - Direct a group of individual contributors that organize, research, analyze and control 3rd Party engine shop visit information; assuring contact and work instruction compliance. - Responsible and accountable for the administration of the Powerplant expense ($322MM) and capital ($40MM) budgets through effective management of engine removals designed to enhance corporate profitability relating to maintenance activities. - Review and analyze the impact of Airworthiness Directives and Maintenance Program changes to determine the effect on the removal schedule, maintenance costs, and budgetary impacts. - Actively participate in contract negotiations by providing analytical cost impact studies of potential refurbishment suppliers. - Administer the engine warranty recovery program. Approximately $6MM has been recovered during Fiscal Year 2000. To increase effectiveness of warranty recovery program, a new information gathering system is being developed with the potential of doubling the current amount recovered. • Major accomplishments: - 1999, 2002 and 2004 Five Star Award - Implementation of a Propulsion database that captures all pertinent engine removal data. Data is analyzed and presented in a series of visual metrics designed to illustrate both engine on-wing reliability and vendor performance. - Creation of an automated engine scheduling program that maximizes life on-wing, reduces non-aircraft check removals while maintaining sufficient spares to account for unscheduled removals. - Recovery of four million dollars improperly paid to engine refurbishment vendors (FY99).

• CF6-6D, CF6-50C2, JT8D and JT8D-200 Engineering - Prime Engineer for Line Maintenance activities and Major Project Investigation. - Major Engineering Programs include Low Pressure Turbine failure analysis and recovery program and engine overspeed analysis – 1997 Quality Success Story • Overhaul Vendor Selection and Measurement - Developed a new system to measure on-wing engine reliability. Program will measure and compare engines overhauled by different repair agencies and statistically compare vendor on-wing life. - Designed and incorporated a vendor measurements program to measure vendor deliverables. Analysis provides insight into basic engine overhaul quality. • Direct Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Interaction: - Direct contact with the FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector for Federal Express. - Developed a method for incorporation of technical data generated by overhaul vendors for use on Federal Express power plants. Data must be approved by Federal Express engineering and monitored by the FAA. - Developed an operative knowledge of Federal Aviation Regulation with a focus on FAR's 43, 121 and 145
