About Chris Leblanc

20+ years of technical program management for major organizations in the avionics industry and over 10 years in leading electronic and electromechanical repair services in avionics and industrial low powered lasers. I\'m currently with Boeing\'s Systems Engineering department, specifically the Avionics group. Recently with Collins Aerospace, I lead the development effort for groundbreaking, bespoke monuments for two top airlines. With Syrad, an industry leading Co2 laser manufacturer, I lead a service organization that spanned the globe with stations in 4 countries. I previously managed the development of passenger entertainment equipment for a Delta Airlines IFE startup project. I also worked with Delta through a consulting organization on an airline interior modification program. I gained fantastic experience working for a government contracted, circuit board manufacturer, where I managed program operations from initial bid through delivery and sustainment. Before that I rose through the ranks at Panasonic Avionics first directing their repair service operations and then managing in-flight entertainment projects for major airlines.My specialties include: Team Building & Leadership, Client & Vendor Relationships, Supply Chain & Logistics, Electrical & Mechanical Engineering, P&L Management & Budget, Contract Negotiation & Compliance, Continuous Process Improvement, Staff Training & Development, FAA Compliance & Auditing, Aircraft Maintenance Operations, Quality Assurance & Testing, Software Requirements Definition, Lean Six Sigma, Microsoft Office and Project.
