Montgomery, Ala. (August 03, 2021 – Corrected) — Keith Bagley, president of Hartzell Engine Technologies LLC (HET), announced today key organizational changes to better meet rapidly evolving market conditions, and focus on its commitment to providing the best lifecycle support for all of its products.
“I am privileged to announce three key leadership changes,” he said. “Brandon Stewart is the new General Manager of our sister company QAA (Quality Aircraft Accessories) facility in Tulsa, Okla.. John Popel is now the Site Lead and Accountable Manager at QAA’s facility in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Brett Benton is now Vice President of Market and Business Development for the HET family of brands.”
“Brandon and John have been with the HET family for a long time and are both deeply rooted in our continuous improvement efforts and will bring the systems and processes they help developed to QAA’s MRO business,” Bagley said. “Brett became part of the team when Tailwind Technologies acquired QAA, and in his new position, he will be an ambassador of our family of brands and work to improve the overall experience of customers.”
Bagley further stated, “At the core of everything we do is a commitment to quality – whether that is products that deliver the highest performance, reliability, and value or if it’s providing the highest-quality customer experience; quality is our motivating goal. I am truly excited to have Brandon, John, and Brett in positions where they can use their individual experiences to help strengthen our ongoing efforts across the spectrum of products and services.”
