@zachwattman
Aspiring pilot and sales professional with a passion for growth.
What I'm looking for
I am Zachary S. Wattman, a dedicated pilot trainee and growth contractor with a strong background in sales and aviation. Currently serving as a Pilot Trainee in the Maryland Air National Guard, I am committed to honing my skills in aviation while contributing to my team. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Finance from the University of Central Florida, where I was recognized on the Dean's List for my academic achievements.
In my professional career, I have successfully navigated roles in sales and growth strategy, particularly with OpenPay and Feathery, where I was instrumental in developing lead generation functions and sales funnels that significantly boosted revenue. My experience as a First Officer with Vision Flight Services further solidified my operational expertise in aviation, ensuring safety and efficiency in all flight operations. I thrive in dynamic environments and am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive success in both aviation and sales.
