Maintenance Compliance Manager

JSSI Parts & Engines expands commercial and operations leadership. * August 26, 2026 JSSI Parts & Engines (JPE) has added two senior leaders to its commercial and operations teams, deepening the expertise behind its growing parts and assets business. Jamie Benthusen joins as Senior Director of Operations, and Timothée Marcie joins as Director, Asset Sales & Acquisitions, EMEAA, extending JPE's whole-assets sales and acquisition coverage across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Both appointments bring senior, hands-on expertise to a business that keeps parts and assets moving around the world while staying close to customers across an expanding set of regional markets. "These are two people who make us stronger where it counts, close to our customers and behind the scenes where the work gets done. Jamie brings the operational depth that keeps parts and assets moving reliably worldwide, and Timothée brings the regional expertise and deal experience to extend our reach across EMEAA. Both are excellent additions as we build a more focused, regionally accountable business," said Philipe Figueiredo, Global Vice President, JSSI Parts & Engines. Jamie Benthusen, Senior Director of Operations Jamie Benthusen brings more than 30 years of experience across aviation operations, aftermarket, and global supply chain management. He joins JSSI from INAV LLC, where, as a member of the executive leadership team, he built the operations function that supported a period of significant company growth. His background covers what a parts and assets business runs on: worldwide movement of high-value aerospace assets, customs and tariff compliance, quality management to ASA 100 standards, and vendor and logistics networks that hold up under pressure. At JSSI, he now leads operations for JPE, focused on the systems and teams that get certified material where it needs to be, documented and on time, as inventory and demand grow. "JSSI Parts & Engines has real scale and real ambition, and strong operations are what turn that into reliable delivery for customers. I'm looking forward to enhancing our efficiencies and building the systems that keep the business moving as it grows, all while maintaining the operational excellence our customers and partners have come to expect from us," said Benthusen. Timothée Marcie, Director, Asset Sales & Acquisitions, EMEAA Timothée Marcie joins from the aircraft brokerage world, with companies such as Boutsen Aviation and Tangmere Aircraft Sales where, over the past 12 years, he built a track record in large-cabin aircraft sales and acquisitions across emerging markets, closing transactions spanning a wide range of business jet platforms, as well as founding an AI-powered aviation marketplace platform from the ground up. Earlier in his career, he led sales across Northern and Eastern China for Dassault Falcon Jet, helping grow the region's operating fleet from three aircraft to more than 30, and developed working fluency in Mandarin along the way. His experience across new and pre-owned aircraft sales, exclusive mandate negotiations, and cross-border deal structuring positions him to expand JPE's presence in EMEAA. As part of a regional sales structure that pairs dedicated leaders with each market, he covers whole-asset sales and aircraft acquisition across the region, working alongside JPE's regional sales directors to open new opportunities and move transactions faster. "JSSI has become a true cornerstone of this industry, and JPE is at the heart of that, keeping operators flying by continuously growing its parts and engines inventory to meet the market's needs. I'm glad to be joining a growing team of experts in the region, and I'm looking forward to contributing to that momentum in EMEAA," said Marcie.

JSSI names David Schmitt Director of Customer Field Support, Americas. * August 5, 2026 JSSI has appointed David Schmitt as Director of Customer Field Support, Americas, a newly created role leading one of JSSI's two regional maintenance field support organizations, structured to serve customers more closely around the world. Schmitt will lead the Americas field support team, the technical experts responsible for managing airframe and engine maintenance events across the United States, Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean. The regional model positions JSSI teams closer to the operators they support, with dedicated regional expertise, faster response times, and stronger local relationships with vendors and OEMs. JSSI's technical services organization spans more than 70 technical advisors and a global network of over 600 MROs, primarily supporting the company's Hourly Cost Maintenance (HCM) clients across thousands of aircraft worldwide. For clients, that means the people managing their maintenance events are grounded in the realities of their region and their fleet. Schmitt brings deep, well-rounded experience across the maintenance lifecycle, from hands-on aircraft maintenance to manufacturing, supply chain, and operations leadership. That breadth positions him to lead a disciplined, data-driven approach to event management across the Americas. "As JSSI continues to scale, maintaining the highest standard of support for our customers is critical. We face daily challenges across our engine and airframe business, and it is through our network of expert technicians and our partners, suppliers and vendors alike, that we deliver the best service in the industry. With our field support organized along regional lines, our team is positioned closer to customers, backed by dedicated regional expertise and stronger local relationships. David's background across the maintenance lifecycle makes him the right person to lead that work in the Americas," said Alexis Javkin, Executive Vice President, Maintenance Operations & Procurement, Technical Services, JSSI. Before joining JSSI, Schmitt served as General Manager for Aerospace & Defense In-Lab Services at Mistras Group. Prior to that, he spent several years at Honeywell Aerospace in aftermarket and MRO operations, holding roles including Senior Operations Manager for Aftermarket/MRO and Director of Operations across OEM, APU, and engine lines. That experience spans the same engine and airframe programs JSSI supports every day, and gives him a working understanding of both the technical and commercial sides of a maintenance event. Schmitt's operational discipline was forged well before his aerospace career. He served 20 years in the United States Air Force before retiring in 2022, including five combat deployments in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Leading maintenance and operations in those environments, where readiness is not negotiable and there is no margin for delay, shaped the standard he now brings to managing events for JSSI customers. It is the kind of background that matters most on the days an operator can least afford downtime. Originally from Connecticut, Schmitt is relocating from the Phoenix area to the greater Chicago region, home to JSSI's global headquarters.
