Ensure commercial business development initiatives remain synergistic with, and do not conflict with, ongoing government contract operations.
Develop and maintain a living Business Development plan/roadmap to grow CSI’s operations and profitability across commercial and government aviation markets.
Oversee marketing initiatives and supervise subordinate staff supporting sales, brokering, and business development functions.
Recommend company participation in industry days, tradeshows, and conferences as an attendee or exhibitor across commercial and government aviation sectors.
Establish and maintain productive relationships with key buyers, operators, and government program stakeholders.
Maintain current knowledge of existing and emerging FAA regulations, DOT/government aviation standards, and industry best practices affecting CSI’s operations.
Serve as a key advisor to CSI’s executive leadership on sales, marketing, and business development strategy.

Familiarity with FAR-based solicitation structures (RFP, RFI, BPA, IDIQ), CLIN/ODC pricing constructs, and government proposal development.
