Accountable Manager at AeroGroup
How do you turn a crisis into an opportunity?
As an aircraft maintenance organisation, where products we maintain are not subject to Research and Development as rapidly as the automotive industry does, it is important to permanently challenge our way to process the information, the work and the relation to our customers. Analysing our customers needs, and providing them with solutions at their size is paramount to us.

Is innovation at the heart of your reflection and strategy?
Innovation is key when attempting to provide added value to our service
Security and trust are fundamental in our industry, how do you convey those values?
We value the interpersonal communication. On top of a working SMS (ahead of EASA requirements for 145 organisations), we encourage free reporting in the organisation. We are striving to remain proactive, not reactive and use everyone’s experience, young and elderly, to avoid and prevent pitfalls
What’s your clients’ main need and how do you deal with it?
Customers are not reluctant to pay the price for competent work. They dislike to feel that their resources are being used to cover lack of training or skills in the organisation. We invest consistent amount of money in training, and sensitize our staff to act as if they were themselves our customers.
