About Rosaire

Aerospace engineering leader with 10+ years’ experience delivering structural modifications, cabin reconfigurations, and compliance approvals across commercial and governmental fleets. As an EASA-certified CVE, I lead design approvals for major and minor repairs & modifications under CS-25, bridging engineering authority with regulatory rigor across FAA/EASA/CAAC environments. I design supply chain processes, data governance models, and KPI dashboards for MRO IT transformations bridging planning, alternates, and DOA / MRO execution.
Backed by an Executive MBA in Finance from HEC Paris and NPD certification from Yale School of Management, I bring financial discipline and process leadership to MRO and DOA operations linking tooling investment, repair capability development, and production support to ROI, throughput, and audit readiness. Proven track record designing technical documentation systems, and leading cross-functional engineering teams.vailable for targeted, outcome-driven consulting for eithershop-floor or DOA execution with lean principles, regulatory compliance, and cost-focused decision-making.
