Capabilities

Senior advisory for the decisions that shape market position and enterprise value.

Aerie Group works with leaders who need more than a market report. The focus is on practical choices, access, positioning and execution in complex aerospace and defense environments.

01 / U.S. MARKET ENTRY

Build a U.S. presence that customers, partners and regulators can trust.

For foreign-owned aerospace companies, the operating structure is part of the value proposition. Aerie Group aligns market strategy with governance, security, industrial participation and customer credibility.

When clients call

  • Entering the U.S. defense market
  • Establishing or repositioning a U.S. subsidiary
  • Addressing FOCI or security-clearance issues
  • Creating a domestic industrial footprint

Typical work

  • Market-entry roadmap and target priorities
  • Governance and proxy-structure strategy
  • Partner and stakeholder mapping
  • U.S. industrial-base and localization planning
02 / CAPTURE & PROGRAM STRATEGY

Shape the opportunity before the solicitation shapes the competition.

Aerie Group helps leadership teams identify where they can win, clarify the customer’s real definition of value and build a differentiated path to a funded program.

When clients call

  • A high-value program is emerging
  • Technical advantages are not resonating
  • The customer approach lacks coherence
  • A pursuit needs executive-level redirection

Typical work

  • Opportunity qualification and win strategy
  • Customer shaping and executive engagement
  • Competitive and political positioning
  • Industrial, partner and support strategy
03 / STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS

Move from prospective vendor to trusted program partner.

The strongest aerospace partnerships are built around shared risk, program outcomes and complementary strengths. Aerie Group identifies the right counterparties and develops propositions that matter to senior decision-makers.

When clients call

  • A U.S. prime relationship is essential
  • A technology company needs aerospace scale
  • A supplier wants to move up the value chain
  • An alliance lacks a clear operating model

Typical work

  • Partner identification and qualification
  • Executive outreach and positioning
  • Joint value proposition and workshare strategy
  • Alliance governance and negotiation support
04 / BOARD & CEO ADVISORY

Independent judgment when strategic choices carry lasting consequences.

Aerie Group brings a former CEO and independent director’s perspective to growth, governance, risk, capital allocation, management accountability and stakeholder alignment.

When clients call

  • The board needs an experienced outside view
  • Management and shareholders are misaligned
  • Growth assumptions need to be challenged
  • A major strategic decision is approaching

Typical work

  • Board and CEO counsel
  • Strategy and performance review
  • Risk, governance and accountability frameworks
  • Executive narrative and stakeholder alignment
05 / M&A & GROWTH PLATFORMS

Use acquisitions and strategic options to accelerate market access.

Aerie Group evaluates whether a target can do more than add revenue—whether it can create customer access, protected capability, U.S. industrial credibility and a stronger strategic position.

When clients call

  • Organic U.S. growth is too slow
  • An acquisition thesis needs market validation
  • Potential targets require strategic screening
  • Post-acquisition growth must be defined

Typical work

  • Acquisition thesis and target criteria
  • Candidate identification and evaluation
  • Commercial and strategic due diligence
  • Integration and value-creation roadmap
06 / SPECIAL SITUATIONS

Apply unconventional thinking to urgent or stalled missions.

Some opportunities do not fit a standard consulting process. Aerie Group can assemble focused expertise, reframe the mission and move quickly where time, politics, operational risk or organizational inertia are constraining progress.

When clients call

  • A program has stalled
  • An operational need is urgent
  • The conventional path has failed
  • Senior intervention is required

Typical work

  • Rapid situation assessment
  • Alternative strategy and operating concepts
  • Executive intervention and stakeholder reset
  • Focused implementation support
A

Senior-Led

Stephen Moss personally leads the work and remains directly involved in the critical decisions and relationships.

B

Outcome-Defined

Each engagement begins with a clear definition of the decision, opportunity or result—not an open-ended consulting process.

C

Confidential & Selective

Aerie Group accepts a limited number of assignments where senior attention can materially affect the outcome.

Define the Real Problem

The first step is often clarifying what must be true for the strategy to succeed.

A confidential discussion can quickly identify whether the obstacle is market access, positioning, partnership structure, governance, execution—or a combination of all five.
