Hill named as new SVP at Ranger Air Aviation
MRO and supply chain support services company Aviation Technical Services (ATS), has announced that Jimmy Hill has joined its executive leadership team as senior vice president for Ranger Air Aviation, the largest independent MRO in North America.
He replaces Rob Hill who is retiring the post since founding Ranger Air with a small number of partners in 2002.
The role continues to support the realignment activity of ATS’s materials businesses announced internally to ATS and Ranger Air employees in May of 2024.
ATS’s new organisational structure and business approach has brought together the sales, entrepreneurial leadership, and related strategy development of its component repair, component sales, and engineering teams.
Hill will lead the Ranger Air team which has enjoyed recent growth in the used serviceable materials (USM) trading and parts distribution sectors of the commercial aftermarket.
Hill joins ATS from MRO Holdings where he served as vice president, sales and marketing, growing sales within the heavy maintenance sector for the company.
He also has extensive aerospace and leadership experience from time spent with CFM Materials, GE Aviation Materials, Pratt and Whitney, AAR Corp, and Aviall.
Hill is a leading industry expert in USM, aeroengine maintenance, and airframe services, along with asset sales, trading, and leasing.
Dennis Santare, senior vice president of component and engineering solutions, said: “We’re excited to continue furthering ATS’s impressive story in aviation supply chain by increasing collaboration within our component repair, USM, parts trading, and PMA businesses.
“Jimmy is surrounded by experienced leaders and team members who are driven to provide an exceptional customer experience and share in the ATS vision.”
Hill attended the University of Wisconsin where he earned a degree in industrial engineering. Additionally, he serves his community through several avenues including the YMCA and Cup of Grace and also holds a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt from GE.
