Scottsdale, Arizona-headquartered aviation safety software company Polaris Aero has named Ian Lumpp as the firm's new Midwest regional sales executive. Lumpp brings more than eight years' experience in aviation to his new position at Polaris Aero. An NBAA Young Professional (YoPro), Lumpp was recognised as one of NBAA's Top 40 Under 40 in Business Aviation in 2019.

Steve Bruneau, Polaris Aero's VP of aviation services, says he is delighted Lumpp is joining the company. Bruneau cited Lumpp's exceptional teamwork and communication skills as well as his ability to solve some of the challenging issues facing the business aviation industry today.

Lumpp is enthusiastic about his new role with Polaris Aero and how he'll be assisting customers in improving their safety programmes. Most recently, he served as the director of business development and publisher for BusinessAir magazine. While in that role, he co-founded the Iowa Business Aviation Association and now serves as the co-chair of the NBAA YoPro Council.

“I am genuinely excited to take on this new challenge with Polaris Aero,” he comments. “I look forward to leveraging my knowledge and network in business aviation to help grow the company and help my friends and colleagues fly more safely.”
