Kopter NA’s president of sales/marketing and customer support, Larry Roberts, stated: “We are tremendously pleased to add to the team a person with so much history, knowledge and experience of the air medical mission. Lee expertly understands the industry, our customer and the support they require for success.”
McCammon’s first assignment with Kopter NA will be attending the AMTC in Phoenix and promoting the features, benefits and capabilities of Kopter’s SH09 single-turbine helicopter.
McCammon worked as a paramedic for NorthStar in New Jersey. From there he was elevated to program director and worked several years with Rocky Mountain Helicopters. He later found his way to Petroleum Helicopters Incorporated (PHI) where he worked as assistant director of air medical operations.
Then, McCammon held several leading positions within EMS operators such as Omniflight, Life Med Alaska and for the last eight years at Air Methods Corporation as regional vice president.
He earned his undergraduate degree from Purdue University and later his MBA from Northeastern University.
Kopter NA was recently formed as an LLC and is in the process of assessing potential sites in the United States that qualify to meet the stringent company requirements for establishing a helicopter manufacturing and assembly facility.
Kopter NA’s chief executive officer, Christian Gras, added, “Lee’s extensive experience will definitely help us match the SH09 to the demanding necessities that EMS customers require from rotary-wing aircraft, we welcome Lee to the team and look forward to developing with him strong partnerships with these customers.”
