Brent Moldowan will head up day-to-day operations as president and CEO; strengthening the firm’s regional bases and customer-facing teams. Joining Moldowan on the leadership team are Viviana Kozin, chief operating officer; Ron Carlstrom, chief financial Officer; Rich Ropp, chief sales and services officer; and Stephanie Mueller, chief talent officer.

The new structure will help incorporate the same technology platforms across each base and help develop ways to support similar departments, leveraging the resources and capabilities of the larger company.

“We’re confident in Brent uniting our entire team together where technology and best practices can be shared,” said chairman Andy Priester. “His experience provides a cohesive way to support our front-line employees, who have built long-standing relationships with and understand the unique needs of our customers in each region.”

Moldowan is currently helping Mayo Aviation integrate into the larger George J. Priester Aviation family of companies, after which he will assume the operational leadership of the larger organisation in his new roles. Andy Priester will continue as chairman.

Moldowan previously served the company as president of Mayo Aviation. Each regional base – Priester Aviation in the Midwest, Mayo in the West, and Hill Private Aviation in the Southeast – will have a president to lead it. The company amalgamated its services into one legacy company earlier this year.

The move will see Stevens acquire Mayo Aviation’s maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) operations at Centennial Airport (KAPA). Mayo serves as the Rocky Mountain West base of the George J. Priester Aviation family of companies.

Mayo Aviation president Brent Moldowan said: “This allows us to better focus on our aircraft owners and charter services while offering a national MRO partnership to our customers, giving them more options, capabilities and expertise. Stevens offers a robust maintenance provider plan nationwide for our owners, with a proven track record.”

The new alliance offers all Priester customers more access to MRO capabilities for all types of aircraft, especially Mayo Aviation’s 45-year relationship with Colorado Flight for Life and its fleet of King Air aircraft.

The move will also allow Mayo customers to leverage the expertise and scale of Stevens’ operations, including preferential scheduling. Similar to George J. Priester companies, the Centennial Airport base will be Stevens’ farthest west.

“Stevens’ legacy as a privately owned aviation company aligns with the values of all of our companies,” Moldowan said. “They understand that aviation is a service business and share the same focus on customers. Partnering with such an established, similar-minded company allows Mayo to best serve our owners’ needs and benefit charter clients.”
