AIA Annnounces New Lifecycle Manager
Arlington, Virginia - James "Rusty" Rentsch has been named to the new Aerospace Industries Association position of Lifecycle Management Director.
Rentsch will provide staff support to the AIA's Engineering Management Committee and the Product Support Committee, both of which fall under the association's Technical Operations Council.
AIA President and Chief Executive Officer John W. Douglass said Rentsch brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the position.
"Rusty is a great addition to our team who will be an asset to our members,'' Douglass said. "His background blends product support and management with technical engineering, providing the insight needed for the job.''
Rentsch has a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Rhode Island and a Master's of Business Administration from George Mason University. In previous aerospace positions, he has worked in engineering design and product support engineering at Textron Lycoming, as well as product support and sales at Messier-Dowty.
The new post blends two previous positions overseeing association policy on product support and engineering. In the job, Rentsch will advocate industry views on regulations and legislation, respond to government inquiries requiring industry input and facilitate industry consensus.
