There are leaders who lead for the mere sake of title, and there are those who inspire because doing so is simply a part of who they are. Sachi Greene, Sr. Vice President of Recruiting and Operations for STS Technical Services, is a leader who inspires by example. This fact has never been more evident than it is today as Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA), the world’s premium “global advisor on staffing and workforce solutions,” honors Greene by naming her as one of the Top 100 women in staffing in America as well as one of the top 150 women in staffing globally.

“This is really an unexpected honor,” says Greene. “I am proud of this accomplishment. It is definitely a nice highlight for me in my career, but this honor isn’t mine alone. There is an entire team of people that I work in the trenches with each and every day, and they deserve this recognition and accomplishment just as much.”

Ever humble but always looking forward, Greene is excited about what she and her team are building.

“You know, it wasn’t that long ago that I was overseeing a workforce management group dedicated solely to servicing the aerospace industry. Flash forward to present times, and we have grown so much as a company. For example, our team has expanded into multiple industries beyond aviation, and I’m really excited about the future. The people we have in place, the technology we utilize and the resources at our disposal are all starting to align, and that has me excited about what’s to come.”

A global leader in aircraft modification and installation reaches an industry benchmark by installing, on average, 70 in-flight connectivity packagers per month while operating in four global regions including North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Melbourne, Fla., November 28, 2018 – In today’s hyper-connected world, airline passengers have grown to expect high-speed Internet connection on every flight. The trouble is, the aerospace industry is still playing catch up and trying to fuel this demand with modern solutions. According to a recent study, approximately 43% of aircraft in service globally offer passengers the ability to connect to the Internet in some way, shape or form, but thanks to the recent work of companies like STS Mod Center and STS AeroMod, the dream of high-speed, in-flight connectivity for everyone is moving closer to global reality.

Based out of Melbourne, Florida and Kansas City, Missouri, STS Mod Center and STS AeroMod have perfected the installation process of high-speed connectivity solutions across all commercial aircraft types.

“Each connectivity package we do, regardless of aircraft type, takes about three (3) days to complete. That’s fast,” says Daniel Burgess, Senior Vice President of STS AeroMod. “And given our team’s ability to deploy mobile, rapid-response teams across all corners of the world, we are now completing about 70 aircraft installations per month.”

Low TAT’s and rapid product rollout is what it’s all about for STS, and customers all over the world are starting to take notice.

“Name me one other company that can do a complete nose-to-tail install in three days,” says Mark Smith, Group President of STS Mod Center. “The truth is, I don’t know of a single company that can do installs as effectively, consistently and simultaneously all over the world like the STS Mod Center and STS AeroMod teams are doing right now.”

In addition to servicing both top-tier and low-cost carriers across North America and Europe, STS Mod Center and STS AeroMod are also working with clients on the ground in Asia and the Middle East.
