At this critical time for the aviation industry, APS is pleased to see our friend and colleague Chris Rocheleau stepping into the role of FAA Acting Administrator.

?? MBA DONE. FINALLY! NEXT UP … I'm pleased to share a significant milestone! After starting my part-time MBA journey at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) in 2014 (really? a decade ago?) with time for just one or two classes a year, taking a three year break for COVID, picking it up again mid-2023 with seven classes back to back, I’ve officially completed my Master of Business Administration! ?? Grateful for the wonderful academic journey so far, with a big THANK YOU to my amazing, supportive family at home and to the entire Aviation Performance Solutions (APS) team for their long-standing support. Onward and upward! ?? Background: During this time, the MBA program evolved, and I ended up taking 14 excellent classes total in what is now a streamlined 10-class curriculum. The experience was nothing short of exceptional. The professors—most with at least one PhD and all with extensive real-world expertise—provided invaluable insights. The program's alignment with modern business challenges, including technological advancements, has been incredibly rewarding both personally and professionally, contributing significantly to APS’s strategic vision. Next Up: As I reflect on this accomplishment, I’m also looking ahead to my next educational pursuit. I’m torn between continuing in the business realm with a Master of Science in Digital Marketing or Data Analytics—or revisiting my original passion with a PhD in Astrophysics to complement my BSc from the Royal Military College of Canada/Collège militaire royal du Canada. #LeadershipJourney #AviationExcellence #LifelongLearning

Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a happy new year!
