This was instrumental in streamlining the organization’s ability to quantify the financial impact of process improvements across the company.

As one of the “big three” aero-engine manufacturers, the company competes with General Electric and Rolls-Royce, and has been awarded several large contracts with the Department of Defense over the years.

“After nearly two decades at companies that make equipment for commercial and military aircraft, I’m excited to join the Capewell team and become part of a company with a rich history in aerial delivery and survivability solutions that keep service men and women around the world safe. I look forward to collaborating with the rest of Capewell team to support its mission and drive continued growth well into the future,” said Erin.
