Salient credits Mullin as an expert in aircraft maintenance, training, operations, and program management. He served 28 years in the Air Force as an enlisted airman and as an officer.
Retired Chief Master Sgt. James Perdue will serve as a project coordinator, responsible for developing and managing client relationships. The company said he will also serve as a liaison with government agencies and offices in contract execution and follow-on efforts.
The company said Perdue has more than 20 years of aircraft maintenance management experience and 30 years of experience maintaining avionics subsystems for aircraft.
