My name is Sam Slusky, welcome to my website!

I am currently seeking the opportunity to make the transition from an individual contributor to a strategic leadership role. Throughout my career at American Airlines and Collins Aerospace I have shown my ability to successfully execute multiple projects on an emergent basis, effectively managing priorities to deliver parts and aircraft on time. I have had the opportunity to develop as the subject matter expert on a wide variety of engineering and compliance topics, giving me the benefit of interacting with a wide functional group of leaders. I am looking to leverage my engineering experience in data driven decision making and strong communication skills to contribute to the RTX organization at a strategic level.
