DAES BULLETIN

WE are very pleased to announce that DAES is now
officially registered with a company in Singapore.

The aviation market in the Asia Pacific Region is
forecasted to grow at an annual rate of more than 8%
over the next 15 years. We are committed to
participate in this growth and also want to be
positioned to support our partners in the best possible
way in this region. These are the main factors leading us
to the decision to open up a new office in Singapore.

I am proud to announce that our first new employee in
Singapore will be Sandeep Sunny. Sandeep will be
stationed in Singapore and will cover the function of Field Service Manager focusing on equipment
support from installation to maintenance. He holds a Bachelors Degree of Mechanical Engineering and
served the aviation industry for nearly 15 years providing hands on support as well as covering
engineering and management functions. In his past Sandeep worked for companies such as Air India,
FAST Singapore, Goodrich Aerospace Singapore and MAG Engine Systems Singapore.

Marc holds an M.S. in Electrical
Engineering and an Executive MBA. He is
an FAA licensed pilot and has more than
20 years’ experience in the aviation
industry, with OEMs, airlines, as well as
with MRO companies in the US, Europe,
and Latin America. He worked in senior
Business Development and Sales roles for

companies such as Rockwell Collins, Mid-Continent Avionics, Zodiac Services, and Smiths Interconnect.
From May 1st, Marc will be leading our Americas sale team from our Florida office, and he can be
contacted at 813-317-8063 or via email at [email protected].
