Rolland Vincent Associates (RVA) has named business aviation expert Dean Roberts as v-p of strategy, sustainability, and development, effective immediately.
Roberts formerly worked at Rolls-Royce for more than four decades, with expertise in strategy, industry analysis, market forecasting, and analytics. He played a pivotal role in developing business aviation strategies and market forecasts for the company’s engine programs, including the Rolls-Royce Pearl family.
"We are thrilled to have Dean join our team," said RVA president Rollie Vincent. "It is rare to find someone who has his many and diverse skill sets. He is a recognized industry guru with expertise forged in the real world of civil aero-engine development and product strategy. His deep expertise and broad-based experiences are superb complements to what we do—he will be especially instrumental as we broaden our capabilities and focus on the nascent field of aviation sustainability.”
Roberts is also the chair of the business aviation subcommittee of the U.S. Transportation Research Board (TRB), where he leads 10-year market consensus forecasts and surveys with fellow industry experts.
