With over 25-years experience in the aviation industry, CM spent over 20-years with Bell Helicopter. Starting his career there as a sales representative, he was appointed managing director of the Asia Pacific region in 2013. In his last 5-years at Bell Helicopter, he secured orders and delivered over $500m worth of helicopters. He had direct responsibility for sales in countries ranging from Australia, Bangladesh, to China, India, Indonesia, Korea and all of the ASEAN countries.
CM graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering from Northrop University in 1990. The technical training has held him in good stead through his national service with the Republic of Singapore Air Force, and subsequently entering the business world as a planning assistant with an fixed wing and rotary wing MRO in Singapore. During his time at Bell Helicopter, he also earned an Executive MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
CM’s EMBA project brought a classroom business case into real life execution when Bell Helicopter invested over $30M into establishing an MRO in Singapore, based on the business plan CM and his team developed.
