Shane Stringfellow is the president of Jetraxx and the architect of its revolutionary approach to aviation asset management. He also served as Partner and executive vice president for technical services for Jet Engine Solutions (JES), the company that inspired the creation of Jetraxx.

With more than 30 years of hands-on experience with aircraft maintenance, Shane appreciates the importance of thorough records management throughout the life of a leased asset. From this experience—managing paper-based maintenance records that were too easily lost, damaged, or rendered illegible—he developed a role-based system to digitize, track, and automate documentation for engine lessors and lessees. What began as an in-house system for JES quickly grew into a product for the broader aviation market and a new company: Jetraxx.

Shane’s love of aviation took him first to the U.S. Air Force, and later, to GE Aviation, where he served as director of quality and technical services, and to CT Aerospace, where he served in multiple roles, including director of operations. During his time at GE Aviation, he met his future business partners, Brian Biersdorfer and JD Diwan, and the three became fast friends. Years later, when Brian and JD started JES, they recruited Shane to manage technical services.

From his Air Force service, Shane developed a commitment to excellence in execution and discipline—forces that continue to shape the culture of Jetraxx. Equally important to Shane is that employees experience a sense of comradery, shared purpose, and take pride in a job well done. Jetraxx actively hires veterans from across the services, providing post-military career opportunities to those who have served their country.
