Janine's high regard for ethics, especially transparency in business dealings and her solid business acumen make for a great match for me.”

Wyndham's early career in the military served as an excellent precursor to the development of his consulting and fleet planning business. His responsibilities with the US Airforce included aircrew training and safety, operations scheduling and coordination of flight operations with multinational forces throughout Europe, north Africa and the Middle East. He held a top secret/SCI security clearance required for sensitive intelligence flights, further demonstrating his commitment to upholding the high standards of the US armed forces.
