Before co-founding Zymbly, Ben Jacob taught in Britain and Japan, worked on airline operations, and led Applied AI at Multiverse. His next assignment is close to the aircraft: giving maintenance technicians more time to do the work they trained for.
Aircraft grow old slowly. Brian Sartain has built a career around the less glamorous, more exacting question of what keeps them useful when their original parts become yesterday's business.

He began in airline finance, where one maintenance decision could echo years into the future. Ten years later, the planning software he co-founded had become part of AAR's aviation technology portfolio.
