The board, which was first established in 2013, is made up of
senior industry executives with long and proven track records in the helicopter

Meanwhile, Kerschen is the founder and managing partner of Atlantic Alliance, which provides corporate finance advice, capital markets solutions, research, market intelligence and business development services. He has over 30 years’ experience working with asset managers, financial institutions, corporations, private banks, independent wealth managers and family offices.
