I worked with Fadi Hajjar on the MRJ 90 SPACEJET program at Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation in Japan. Fadi was a valuable asset to the program. As a very experienced Program Manager, Fadi created a first-class governance structure for the Supplier Qualification/Certification documentation deliverables. This resulted in a much improved turnaround time. Fadi is able to clearly communicate at the Engineering level and the Exec level. He is able to analyse data, define potential blocking points and produce clear visuals explaining the issues and what needs to be done to keep the program moving forward. Fadi is capable of working alone or leading a team. He has a

Fadi I have worked with Fadi for 3+ years during our time at Mitsubishi Aircraft. During this time Fadi played a fundamental role as part of the Program Management Team, in which he supported a company re-org (from functional to IPT organization) and drove the program towards a much better execution rhythm, implementing a new and detailed governance structure, managing all the important aspects of the project and its deliverables. Fadi is a go-getter professional, he possesses a great combination between technical and management skills, and it’s very energetic and always work hard to achieve company results!
