About Ansel James
I believe that aviation is the best way to bring people and ideas together to make the world a better place-By helping to make aircraft and flying safer and more efficient I can make it easier for people to travel to connect, share ideas, and get things done. This is all the more fullfilling as I also work in the field that I am passionate about-As a dynamic, self driven leader with 24+ years aerospace engineering experience in complementary sectors of the aviation industry I bring to the table the perspectives of an Engineering manager, MBA, commercially rated pilot and licensed A&P mechanic with a demonstrated Alaska Airlines “Above & Beyond” Award winning work ethic combined with critical decision making, managerial and communication skills. I have broad expertise in international aircraft certification, regulatory compliance, continued operational safety, airline engineering, maintenance and engine management combined with an ability to work independently and demonstrated, effective cross-functional team leadership while currently navigating cultural challenges of living and working in Japan.
