CHRIS TRAUTMAN
Pilot & Founder
I am a former Special Operations Instructor Pilot with nearly a decade of experience leading aviation operations, training programs, and mission-critical teams. Throughout my career, I have operated in high-pressure environments where sound decision-making, leadership, and adaptability were essential to mission success.
In addition to flying and instructing, I have held multiple leadership and management roles, including Training Program Manager, Director of Flight Scheduling, SUAS Program Director, Flight Commander, and Operations Planner. I have overseen large-scale training initiatives, managed complex scheduling operations supporting hundreds of personnel, directed multimillion-dollar capability programs, and led teams responsible for executing global operations. My experience spans aviation, program management, organizational leadership, strategic planning, and technology integration.
