George J. Priester makes three additions to leadership team
George J. Priester Aviation has added three new members to its leadership team with a focus on maintenance operations and customer services.
Eric Bewersdorf (pictured centre), who joined the aircraft management and charter company last year, serves as vice president of maintenance, while Alan Harman (pictured left), director of maintenance, and Alexandra Guras( pictured right), national director of flight services, recently came on board.
“Eric, Alan and Alex are great examples of how George J. Priester’s family-owned legacy and customer-first culture help attract leaders who share that commitment to client service,” said Brent Moldowan, president and CEO of George J. Priester. “They’re helping implement processes and management that continue to raise our standards even higher.”
Bewersdorf has 25 years of OEM experience. He also worked at a large Part 135 fleet where he coordinated maintenance and delivery. The Michigan-based executive started his aviation career working as a part-time mechanic as a teenager and is now involved with career development initiatives through NBAA.
Harman has been hands-on in aircraft maintenance and quality control management since his service in the US Army ended more than a decade ago. He maintained a 75-aircraft fleet for a national Part 135 operator, as well as a regional private aviation provider before joining George J. Priester, where he will be based near its Chicago headquarters.
Based in Colorado, Guras has a background in aircraft management and dispatch operations. She has overseen air medical bases, managing performance, compliance and service delivery in high-pressure environments. She is also the president and chairwoman of the Colorado Aviation Business Association.
Meanwhile, back in June, George J. Priester Aviation reported it had 10 aircraft to its managed fleets so far in 2025, bringing its roster to nearly 90 aircraft across its three brands.
The additions include Colorado, Illinois and Texas-based aircraft, and one more to the company’s international roster in Thailand.
