Aviation Specialties Unlimited Hires Retired Army Aviator Keye Perry

Aviation Specialties Unlimited (ASU), a provider of night-vision solutions, announces that the company has hired retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Keye Perry as its Eastern United States USG territory manager.

Perry, a decorated 20-year United States Army veteran, brings with him a depth of experience in facility management, project management, aircraft maintenance, supply-chain management, strategic planning, operational management, and business development skills, as well as more than 1,100 flight hours as a test pilot. He has a master’s degree in information technology from Webster University and a Bachelor of Science degree in systems engineering from the United States Military Academy. He is currently a doctoral student at Liberty University.

In addition to more than 20 years of military experience, Perry has more than 14 years of civilian aviation experience working with industry leaders in various capacities, including business development and project management around the world.

"Keye has an outstanding reputation and a wealth of experience in the military and civil aviation industry,” says ASU vice president of Business Development, Chad St. Francis. "His knowledge of government programs, aviation initiatives and program requirements will greatly enhance ASU’s ability to serve clients.”

Perry also holds a dozen certifications, including ITAR compliance and project management. He has completed certifications from Homeland Security, FEMA, and other military-based training.

“ASU works with numerous government agencies that require a definitive understanding of how procurement, project management and maintenance work within their programs,” says ASU vice president of Sales and Marketing, Dan Meyer. “With the sales growth in our E3 line of NVGs and growing demand, we needed someone who possessed the ability to help agencies throughout the entire purchasing process. Keye will not only be able to help with initial sales but also assist with the proper maintenance of products. Whether agencies are in the infancy of starting a program or are in the middle of retooling their fleets of aircraft, his knowledge will be invaluable. He will be a tremendous addition to the team.”
