Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Alves is a results-driven manufacturing and operations executive with 25 years of leadership transforming aerospace and defense businesses from the shop floor to the boardroom. He has repeatedly delivered double-digit revenue and EBITDA growth through lean initiatives, value-stream redesigns, SIOP discipline, and strategic M&A while improving on-time delivery and first-pass yield above industry targets. Skilled at turning PE-backed situations into scalable platforms, he has led multiple acquisitions, rebuilt leadership teams, and doubled retention rates while growing revenues from the mid‑tens of millions toward triple-digit goals. Technical savvy in composites, additive manufacturing, ERP consolidation, and regulatory regimes (AS9100, ITAR, CMMC) complements his commercial instincts with primes and OEMs like Boeing, Honeywell, and SpaceX. Known as a pragmatic change agent, he pairs hands‑on process engineering roots with an MBA to balance operational rigor, customer focus, and people development. An uncommon strength: he routinely bridges heavy technical problem solving (aircraft modifications, tooling and automation) with board-level financial stewardship.
