When an independent view matters.
01
Performance is not meeting expectations.
Commitments are missed, results are inconsistent, or reported performance does not align with day-to-day operations.
02
Execution lacks consistency.
Meetings, scorecards, and initiatives have increased activity without creating clearer ownership or more reliable delivery.
03
Integration has not yet taken hold.
Following a transaction or significant change, teams, decisions, and ways of working have not fully come together.
The leadership.
How decisions are made, accountability is established, and people are managed. Whether the leadership structure and capabilities support what the business needs to accomplish.
The path forward.
An independent assessment of the findings, the priorities that matter, and practical recommendations leadership can act on.
Mainspar works directly with business owners and leadership teams, and alongside investment sponsors and established advisory firms requiring independent operating or leadership expertise.
Initial Operating Review
When an independent view of the operation is needed. Mainspar provides a clear picture of how it is functioning and the conditions affecting it, so you can decide what comes next.
Executive Advisory
When an experienced outside perspective on a defined question is needed. Mainspar brings independent judgment to the facts and considerations already in view, helping you weigh the options before you.
Mainspar Group is led by founder Aaron Dumas, bringing 25 years of experience across aerospace, aviation operations, and enterprise leadership. The firm draws on that experience to provide independent operating reviews, executive advisory, and aircraft sales support, with a primary focus on aviation and aerospace.
Aaron’s career began in hands-on aircraft maintenance and sustainment, building a technical foundation and firsthand understanding of the people, processes, and decisions that drive operational performance. That experience grew into enterprise-level ethics and compliance leadership, working directly with senior executives on complex business, organizational, and leadership challenges.
A Marine Corps veteran with a bachelor’s degree in Aviation Maintenance Technology, Aaron combines that practical experience with advanced business education from The University of Texas at Austin’s nationally ranked McCombs School of Business MBA program.
