Thommen has announced the opening of a new office to support its business in North America with increased efficiency and enhanced service for its customers.
Floyd Roney — Thommen’s recently appointed business development manager for North America – will oversee sales and business development and marketing. Roney will directly report to the headquarters in Switzerland.
Roney has over 30 years of experience in the aerospace and defense industry. His broad expertise in avionics and aircraft systems covers the latest in the field of communications, navigation and surveillance technologies used in various commercial, military and special mission applications.
Recently, Roney worked in business development for Becker Avionics, where he was responsible for the development and implementation of new sales and marketing channels for complex avionics solutions and aircraft equipment. He published and presented numerous technical forums for user groups nationwide, significantly expanding product awareness. Prior to joining Becker Avionics, Roney held various management and business development positions at EMS Aviation, Kannad Aviation North America and EDMO Distributors Inc. He retired from the USAF B-1B program as director of Maintenance and Training and is a private pilot.
“With the addition of Floyd Roney to the business development team and our new North American presence, we will be able to provide much better local support to our customers and to expand our commercial coverage across the region. We are very glad to have him on board,” said Thomas Terschlusen, director of Sales and Marketing.
