A good fit is important to Tony Amato. In fact, he believes not all business relationships are for the best. “If it doesn’t work for both the customer and for Broadwing Aviation,” he explains, “that’s OK.”

Tony’s career in aviation spans the decades, so he’s seen a thing or two: a gambit of new decisions, programs and processes. That’s why, when he’s researching new partnerships with fleet specs and support requirements, he knows exactly who will benefit from a long-term relationship. “For me, it always comes down to one thing: I am all about doing the right, honest thing.”

To better support this industry’s dependence on production, inventory and cost efficiencies, Tony supplemented his B.S. in Business Administration by receiving his CPIM (Certified Production and Inventory Management) certification through APICS (American Production & Inventory and Control Society), and a Six Sigma Green Belt certification.

MORE ABOUT TONY

  • He has worked in aviation since 1976, mostly in government contracting and sales, and confesses: “I find the challenges associated with the ever-changing industry, and supporting the customer in ‘keeping things flying’ to be invigorating to the mind and soul.”
  • He spent 20 years supporting athletic programs at church, school and little league. “I would like to think that I’ve molded some nice young men and women and made their transition to adulthood just a little bit more fun,” he says.
  • He loves to play golf, and his 26-year-old son still can’t beat him.
  • Losing a parent in his teens eventually helped prop him up: “The lessons I learned and the hurdles I had to overcome have helped to make me into the person I am today.”
