AeroParts Now™, the comprehensive software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution for accelerating aerospace parts sales, and a member of the Simon Group Holdings – Technology Ventures portfolio, today announced the appointment of Mark Cumm to the newly created position of Vice President, Sales.

Mark will report to Will Dent, AeroParts Now President and CTO, and immediately begins his new role leading sales and driving the company’s go-to-market strategy.
