About Kevin Follett
I’m an aviation leader with more than 20 years of experience delivering results across aircraft sustainment, maintenance operations, and workforce training in support of U.S. government and homeland security missions.As a former Naval Aviation Maintenance Officer, I’ve led large, cross-functional teams executing complex aviation programs, where success depended on disciplined planning, operational excellence, and continuous improvement. My background spans program execution, maintenance, and production operations, risk management, supplier coordination, and the development of high-performing technical teams.What differentiates me is my ability to bridge strategy and execution. I understand how decisions at the program and operational levels directly affect aircraft availability, maintenance cycle time, safety, and customer confidence. I bring a practical, outcomes-focused approach that emphasizes clarity, accountability, and measurable improvement.I’m particularly interested in roles that sit at the intersection of aviation programs, operations, and training—where strong leadership, structured execution, and people development drive mission success.
