Paul's experience spans an impressive record of sales and marketing results within aviation avionics, instrument markets and franchised dealer networks to piston singles and business jets. His strategic focus at Max-Viz is to lead the sales expansion of the company's enhanced vision systems.

Previous to Max-Viz, Paul drove the Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) sales and marketing efforts for S-TEC Meggitt Avionics, delivering autopilot and instrument flight control products to the aircraft industry.

Paul added, "As airports and airways become more congested and as more flights venture into smaller airports of the world, aviation is demanding that three core safety measures are addressed: reduced runway incursions during take-offs and landings, reduced approach and landing accidents and reduced controlled flight into terrain. I'm delighted to be on board."
