Monica Badra is the Founder & CEO of Aero NextGen, a matchmaking platform connecting fleet operators, MROs, OEMs, and aviation distributors with vetted software and technology vendors. Her background is in finance, and she has spent over a decade in aviation, working with organizations including Bombardier, AJW Group, Unical, FTAI Aviation, Top Aces, Safran, Honeywell, Alaska Airlines, and more. She began her career in business transformation before moving into digital transformation consulting, where she identified a persistent gap: aviation companies had no reliable way to find and vet the right technology partners — so she built Aero NextGen to close it.
