Interview of Paul Starck

We are happy to welcome Paul Starck at Safran Data Systems, Inc. as Business Development Director for Aerospace Instrumentation and Mission Systems. Let’s know more about him!

April 22, 2024

Present yourself.

My name is Paul Starck. I am a US Marine Corps Veteran currently serving as the Business Development Director for Aerospace Instrumentation and Mission Systems at Safran Data Systems, Inc.

How did you hear about us?

My experience with Safran began in 2009, initially as an end user and integrator of your products.

I faced the intricate challenge of the merger between the Army’s Aviation Technical Test Center (ATTC) and Redstone Technical Test Center (RTTC) into what would become the new Redstone Test Center (RTC).

As a Principal Hardware Engineer with a background in constructing Data Centers and Flight Simulators, I was assigned the exciting responsibility of designing, building out, and testing the new Flight Test Control Center (FTCC)—all within a tight deadline.

Under the tutelage of the Instrumentation Division’s TM team, I learned extensively about Safran’s telemetry equipment, from antennas to receivers, enabling me to integrate these technologies into a seamlessly functioning system.

This project marked the beginning of my journey; since then, I’ve had the privilege of designing and outfitting numerous Control Rooms and Hardware-in-the-Loop labs across the Eastern US, each utilizing a variety of instrumentation for aviation systems testing.

What are you doing at Safran Data Systems, Inc.?

In my role as Business Development Director, I focus on bridging connections and forging strong partnerships.

I work closely with our Sales Managers to ensure that Safran meets the needs of the organizations we serve, with a particular emphasis on developing telemetry ground solutions.

My responsibilities extend beyond just spreading the word about our products; I am actively involved in developing, implementing, and evaluating our business development plans that include a strategic focus on telemetry systems. This work is vital as we initiate and manage business partnerships and alliances.

Additionally, I take great pride in managing key client relationships and tirelessly work to cultivate new ones. Together with the Sales team, we strive to understand each customer’s specific requirements and deliver comprehensive, tailored solutions that go beyond mere transactions to foster enduring relationships.

This includes ensuring that our telemetry offerings meet the sophisticated demands of today’s markets.

What inspired you to join the team here?

Throughout my years of using Safran’s products, I was continuously impressed by their unwavering dedication to customer service—it truly stood out from the rest.

So, when the opportunity arose to join this team, thanks to a nudge from Ryan Goldberg, I jumped at the chance. It’s thrilling to be part of a team that values customer success as much as I do.

Tell us about a professional success story that you are proud of.

I’ve learned that beyond all the technical skills, the true backbone of success is integrity and authenticity. These aren’t just values; they’re the currency of trust and the foundation for genuine, effective relationships in any professional setting.
