Aviation IT veterans Long, Ogden to steer engineering, implementation efforts
March 28, 2010 Longmont, CO – TechPubs Global, a leader in aviation information management, today named Jingjun Long and Robert Ogden to lead the company’s software engineering and project management operations, respectively.
With TechPubs’ accelerating market penetration in the aviation document management sector, the posts, until now consolidated in a single executive, will be independently managed to better ensure efficient customer implementation and software enhancement. Recent new customer engagements, including wins at Southwest Airlines and Etihad Airways, have generated significant growth in both functions, requiring new management focus and specialization.
Jingjun Long becomes TechPubs’ Director of Product Development, based in Shanghai, after serving as a TechPubs software engineer. His aerospace IT career has spanned 10 years, the last 6 with specific focus in commercial aviation document conversion and management systems. Most recently, Long served as Professional Services Manager for Infotrust Group (formerly Jouve Aviation Solutions), where he spearheaded aviation systems development and project implementation for major customers including UPS, US Air, China Airlines, FedEx, and Skybus. Long holds degrees from XiDian University and Xi’an University of Technology.
Robert Ogden moves into new responsibilities as Professional Services Manager for North America, after extensive experience spearheading TechPubs’ Southwest Airlines implementation. A US Navy veteran, Ogden has deep experience in the design and implementation of enterprise publications management systems, notably with United Defense Industries (later BAE Systems). There he managed the design, implementation, and management of IETMs (Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals) for the Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM), among other projects. He earned his degree at the University of Minnesota.
“These appointments come at a crucial point for TechPubs,” remarked David Williams, TechPubs President and CEO. “Our recent growth has been very exciting, but with high growth comes the challenge to execute as effectively as possible – for our customers, for our stakeholders, and for ourselves. Jingjun Long and Robert Ogden are perfect fits for their new posts, since they’ve helped similar organizations navigate these same waters. We’re thrilled to have both of them in place as we continue to innovate, grow, and support our global customers.”
