Industry Veteran To Head Sales Team

Sandel Avionics announced Monday the hiring of Jerry Henry as Director of Sales. Henry will oversee Sandel’s sales team and be responsible for worldwide sales of its Primary Navigation and Attitude Displays, self-contained Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS), and solid-state Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS).

 Henry’s hire culminates the company’s long search for a successor to Bill Wood, who passed away from a bout with cancer in 2006.

"I am honored to have Jerry join us," said Gerry Block, Sandel’s founder and CEO. "I have known Jerry for 15 years and have watched him serve in many capacities giving him a unique perspective to the needs of both end users and installers. He is highly regarded in our industry and his experience and leadership will help us grow as we respond to the increasing demand for our high-performance 3- and 4-ATI displays. And his extensive background with helicopters will help us develop new customer relationships in this important area."

With over 30 years in the industry, Henry comes to Sandel with a wide range of avionics experience which includes civilian, government and military applications. Having held numerous positions there, Henry most recently served as Senior Manager of Customer Support for Avidyne and prior to that was General Manager of Cinema Air Avionics in Carlsbad, CA. During his career Henry has been active in several aviation industry groups including the Aircraft Electronics Association (AEA), Airborne Law Enforcement Association (ALEA) and Helicopter Association International (HAI).

Sandel Avionics, located in Vista, CA, is a privately held company that designs and manufactures high-performance 3- and 4-ATI displays, TAWS and solid-state sensors for retrofit in general aviation, business aviation, air transport, government and military aircraft.
