Hey there!
I’ve just published a new #SkyboundOps episode featuring Monica Badra, Founder of Aero NextGen, and it tackles something aviation doesn’t talk about honestly enough — why transformation fails.
THE INTERVIEW
Monica has led digital and operational initiatives inside major aerospace environments, and in this conversation, she breaks down what really happens when transformation meets reality inside an MRO. We get into clean data, workflow discipline, disconnected systems, advocacy from the shop floor, and the critical difference between “Go Live” and true adoption.
One of the strongest takeaways?
Transformation isn’t about trend chasing. It’s about execution — and having advocates at every level of the organization, and that’s what her company, Aero NextGen is all about.
We also explore the human layer behind leadership — how responsibility, legacy, and resilience shape the drive to build better systems and stronger companies.
If you’re building the next-generation aviation company — whether supply, repair, distribution, or tech — this episode delivers practical perspective without the buzzwords.
