Alex Thagard
Senior V.P. Strategy, Sales, and Marketing
With 23 years’ experience as a US Air Force officer, followed by a decade in the business world, I was brought on to lead ATI’s strategy and sales team to expansion throughout the globe. I was an airpower advisor to United States Ambassadors and Air Forces of Indonesia, Peru, and Thailand. I was responsible for Foreign Military Sales, Foreign Military Financing, air operations, and international training programs in these countries. Prior to joining ATI, I was the Director for Military Business Development at Chromalloy Gas Turbine and directed extensive international military sales programs. Before Chromalloy, I was the Senior Director of Business development at Field Aerospace in Oklahoma City.
