Aerospace, Defense and Aviation Leaders Who Set the Pace
The most successful leaders in the aerospace, defense and aviation industries know that this is no time to sit back. Ongoing challenges include political uncertainty, consumer and stakeholder expectations, global volatility and demands, and increasing competition from smaller, more nimble firms that are putting more resources toward innovation.

In the words of clients
“The team at DHR understands that although data and assessment tools are important, nothing beats the ability to really know a person and evaluate how they will show up in their new role. Predicting human behavior is still as much art as it is science, and you have to have both to successfully place new executives. DHR knows how to do this better than any other firm I’ve worked with.”
