The Distinct Paths of Business Owners and Entrepreneurs: A Deep Dive into the Curse of a Mind That Never Shuts Off – By Abdol Moabery

I am constantly asked about my view on entrepreneurship. So, I think it is important to make an important distinction first. In the world of commerce, the terms “business owner” and “entrepreneur” are often used interchangeably, yet they represent distinct mindsets and approaches to creating and sustaining ventures. Understanding these differences can illuminate the unique challenges each faces, particularly the entrepreneur’s relentless pursuit of continuous innovation, improvement, and expansion.

Coast 2 Coast – Across Ireland on 2 Wheels / By Justin Lambourne

I have always enjoyed cycling, its sense of nostalgia takes me back to being a child roaming the streets on my BMX during the endlessly rainy school holidays (I grew up in the UK, remember). Its shared history with aviation inspires me, the Wright Brothers were bike mechanics that learnt to fly (one of the Wright Brothers innovations – the left-handed pedal thread, is still used on almost all bikes today). In the golden ages… Read more

Going Green at GA Telesis / By Dr. Andreas Bauer

GA Telesis headquarters is a large consumer of electricity by virtue of air conditioning and lighting a 140,000 square foot multi-story HQ building. A few years ago, our former head of global operations and now VP of Turbine Solutions, Alex Tuttle, started these green initiatives by initiating a plan to change classic warehouse lighting to T5 lights with motion sensors.

Millennial and Gen-Z Interns – YUCK? NOT HARDLY! / By Abdol Moabery

Today I had the opportunity to have lunch with the 2018 Intern Class at GA Telesis. This is an annual thing we do where they get to spend some time with me, talk about what they have learned, ask questions of me and let’s remember they are young students – so there is nothing like a free lunch. With all that is being said about the work ethic and philosophy of Millennials and Generation Z… Read more

Experience: There is No Substitute / By Marc Cho

I have been fortunate to work with some amazing professionals across a spectrum of institutions over the first 20 years of my career in aviation. While it is cliché to say there is no substitute for experience, I have come to appreciate that adage even more since joining GA Telesis. Over the past five years, it has become very evident that investor interest in the aviation sector has never been stronger and new capital continues… Read more

The Aviation Industry is at Home in the State of Florida / By Abdol Moabery

While flying home from a business trip a few days ago, I ran into a few industry colleagues which led me to think about the vast amount of aviation companies based in the state of Florida. Then I wondered about the level of the aviation industry’s impact on the state of Florida’s commercial and industrial infrastructure. After a little research, I learned that the aviation and aerospace industry has long been a key driver of… Read more
