A 31-year professional in the industry, Jasper previously served as president of Collins Aerospace’s Mission Systems strategic business unit, a portfolio responsible for delivering military, government and civil solutions to help global customers safely and successfully complete their most complex missions.

During his career at Collins, Jasper effectively transitioned commercial aerospace technologies to the defense sector.
