Commsoft has announced a management restructuring programme intended to position the company for future international growth.

Patrick Cusk joins the Commsoft team as president. Cusk is also vice president of operations at Valsoft Corporation, which acquired Commsoft in September last year, and has a background in vertical software applications, structured finance and commercial law.

John Wilson has been appointed as the new director of technology. He was previously COO at Black Ball Solutions and has a deep understanding of the aviation industry and Agile methodology.

As part of the new management restructure there have been a number of internal promotions.

Pete Lambert has been promoted to director of operations. Pete was previously head of technical operations and has been at Commsoft for over 21 years.

Julian Beames has been promoted to head of customer accounts. Julian was previously business development manager for over nine years.

After 12 years of leading the business, Nick Godwin is moving on from his role as managing director and will remain in close partnership with the business moving forward. As a senior consultant, Nick will be assisting the team with sales and global new business opportunities and continuing to provide Commsoft with the benefit of his extensive market knowledge and experience.

Cusk says of the new management structure: “Recent market activity continues at a strong pace, despite the current crisis. Commsoft has welcomed six new customers already in 2020, three of which signed after the travel lockdown. This new organisational structure, together with a significant investment in our research and development capacity, provides an excellent platform to move forward with our mission: to make OASES the market leader in aviation MRO software.”

Commsoft is one of the most successful aviation engineering and maintenance systems in the world. OASES (Open Aviation Strategic Engineering System) supports 130 aviation customers in over 55 countries, operating on six continents. These include national carriers, third party maintainers, regional carriers, leasing companies, cargo specialists, charter operators and specialist rotable stockists.
