Chuck is an extraordinary operations leader with a passion for the aerospace business.

Walt Bowser CFO-TECT Aerospace (Stony Point Group)

Chuck's leadership in our MRO enabled M7 to successfully complete over 50 ATR Passenger to Freight conversions while simultaneous implementing significant cost improvements and design enhancements. The work on these aircraft was completed under rigorous time constraints placed on us by our customers. Not one aircraft was delivered late and they all had over and above workscope additions that could have hindered our performance. The program was successful and did not distract Chuck from taking care of our other Commercial and Military customers at the same time.

I'm writing on behalf of Mr. Charles (Chuck) Gumbert who was Vice President - MRO for M7 Aerospace. Chuck had full P&L responsibility for the San Antonio, TX and Springfield, MO, MRO business segments. His responsibilities included management of the FedEx ATR program, C26 maintenance, commercial Merlin/Metro work, and the Springfield Merlin/Metro, EMB120, SAAB340 and charter business. Mr. Gumbert was instrumental in starting/growing the ATR P-F line in 2004 and delivered 40+ aircraft on schedule with an impressive record of growth and quality for the program. Chuck's leadership and business savvy are superb. His passion for excellence lead to the development of several high performing teams and ISO/AS certified processes and procedures which have stood the test of time. His customer service skills are well developed and his background in project/program management, financial analytics, process improvement and enterprise growth are assets that any entity would benefit from. I would be happy to provide additional examples of Mr. Gumbert's capabilities and accomplishments upon request.
