At GA Telesis we live by the five “W”s and one “H”; who, what, when, where, why, and how. It all starts when we were children and there was nothing more natural than challenging our parents with these questions. In many cases, these questions would be met with impatience and frustration. As kids, how many conversations did we have, that started with “But why?” and ended with “Because I said so.” or, “Curiosity killed the… Read more
Giving back is a lot more than a moral obligation. It’s a way to strengthen the surrounding community. Building relationships with local charities is something GA Telesis prides itself on. Working here as an intern for the summer, I have seen how passionate this team is about giving back. Events like bake sales and t-shirt sales, may seem minor, but bring together “Team Telesis” because they care about the bigger picture. There are people out… Read more
Looking back on a 29-year career in aviation, I am reminded of all the people I met along the way, but especially of those certain individuals who went that extra mile to help me advance my career and ultimately, land where I am today. From my very first role in aviation, working on the dismantling of a DC-8, I have focused on learning and soaking up knowledge like a sponge. And along with that enthusiasm,… Read more
Today I had the opportunity to have lunch with the 2018 Intern Class at GA Telesis. This is an annual thing we do where they get to spend some time with me, talk about what they have learned, ask questions of me and let’s remember they are young students – so there is nothing like a free lunch. With all that is being said about the work ethic and philosophy of Millennials and Generation Z… Read more
Enthusiasm – Definition (Oxford English Dictionary) “Intense and eager enjoyment, interest, or approval” When I started my career in the aviation industry I never imagined that after 35 years, I would still approach every day with the same sense of excitement and enthusiasm as I did when I started. At GA Telesis, that same enthusiasm is shared within the entire organization starting with our CEO and founder, Abdol Moabery. He epitomizes the word and… Read more
In a world of on-line bidding and RFPs there is nothing that replaces the importance of a relationship with your customer especially for GA Telesis in the EurAsia Region. The importance of culture in EurAsia and the Levant is very important in relationship creation and network formation. This region will account for a large portion of new global aviation purchasing power. In a market with the world’s largest population that consists of all of the… Read more
During a speech in 2005 before the Metropolitan Club in New York City, William R. Brody, then-President of John Hopkins University also an MIT graduate, remarked that “risk is an intrinsic element of our daily lives. Every day, millions of people are playing games of chance… If you look behind the discoveries that have made America great, you find people who were willing to risk it all for success, and many more who failed trying.”… Read more
I was just a pup in the early 90’s when I had the opportunity to work for Aviall, which, at the time, was one of the most formidable independent MROs of its time. I was fortunate enough to be led and mentored by some of our industry giants, who later laid the foundation and led Delta Air Lines to becoming one of the most admired airlines in our industry; let alone one of the most… Read more
I have been fortunate to work with some amazing professionals across a spectrum of institutions over the first 20 years of my career in aviation. While it is cliché to say there is no substitute for experience, I have come to appreciate that adage even more since joining GA Telesis. Over the past five years, it has become very evident that investor interest in the aviation sector has never been stronger and new capital continues… Read more
While flying home from a business trip a few days ago, I ran into a few industry colleagues which led me to think about the vast amount of aviation companies based in the state of Florida. Then I wondered about the level of the aviation industry’s impact on the state of Florida’s commercial and industrial infrastructure. After a little research, I learned that the aviation and aerospace industry has long been a key driver of… Read more
