AOne Parts & Logistics has announced that Ryen Schultz will be joining the North Carolinan global service and support provider as a full time trader. He enlisted in the United States Army in 2014 as a CH-47 mechanic. During his time in the military he was stationed at Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks, Alaska and most recently at Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah, Georgia. His time both in the air and on the ground with the US Army aviation has provided him with a solid background and knowledge of aviation.

“I had the good fortune of spending some time with the AOne team during their part-out of Learjet 45 207 and it was an experience which was both educational and fun for me to be a part of,” states Schultz “Watching the team work in handling the parts, categorising them as well as discussing the application while seeing where and what the parts did on this fixed wing aircraft was an invaluable experience for me.”

Schultz accepted the position of an AOne buyer/trader, anxious to learn and become a member of the business aviation community. “When I first met Ryen he impressed me with his positive personality and his focus,” says Jack Caloras, managing partner. “His military background has provided him with the discipline and energy levels that we see as key traits for success in his role within our company.”

In his role as a trader, Schultz will be involved in all aspects of vendor monitoring, including purchasing, allocating assets for clients and stocking purposes alike, vendor monitoring, both tactical and strategic negotiations of agreements and maintaining vendor relationships so that AOne clients expectations and requirements can be satisfied.

"The AOne trader is integral to the success of our business model, and we are excited to be able to bring Ryen on at this time,” claims Caloras. “Although it is a tough time for a small company like ours to make forward moving decisions like this with the ongoing global pandemic, that's how strongly we feel about adding Ryen to the AOne team.”
