Business aviation operators in the southwest US and western Canada now have a new seasoned turbine engine resource at Duncan Aviation. The company is pleased to announce the appointment of Jeff Soderberg as a turbine engine service sales representative covering New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California, and British Columbia and Alberta, Canada.

With 40 years of experience across Pratt & Whitney, Honeywell, Rolls-Royce and GE platforms, Soderberg's background as an A&P technician and private pilot allows him to act as a technical advocate for his customers. His career is backed by a strong academic foundation, including an MBA and a BS in Aeronautics from Dowling College in New York, as well as an Associate of Science in Aeronautics from Cochise College in Douglas, Arizona.

This combination of hands-on maintenance knowledge and advanced business education allows Soderberg to put himself in the operator's shoes to find practical, efficient solutions for engine maintenance.

“Jeff brings an enormous amount of engine and sales experience to this new role. Over the course of his career, he has built a network of strong relationships that will be highly beneficial as he steps into this position,” says Troy Nail, airframe and engine technical sales manager. “I am excited for the opportunity to work alongside him and to leverage the expertise and assets he brings to the engine sales team and to Duncan Aviation.”

Soderberg was drawn to Duncan Aviation because the company is family-owned and has an excellent industry reputation. For him, the move is about joining a team that shares his commitment to quality and to the customer.

“Duncan Aviation has such an excellent reputation for quality, integrity and customer service within our industry. It is an honour to be part of the team,” says Soderberg. “I look forward to reconnecting with many customers I already know, as well as meeting new ones, introducing them to Duncan Aviation and supporting their turbine engine service needs.”

Based in Chandler, Arizona, Soderberg speaks English, Spanish and Swedish, allowing him to provide clear, personalised communication to a wide range of flight departments. He plans to travel extensively throughout the region to provide face-to-face support and introduce Duncan Aviation's comprehensive engine services.
