From Cockpit to C-Suite: Leading with Vision Discipline and Legacy

We covered a wide range of powerful themes, from aviation and leadership to legacy, purpose, and impact.

Captain Abiy shared how growing up in a family of pilots — with his father among the pioneers of Ethiopian Airlines — inspired him and his brother to follow the same flight path.

He opened up about his decision to become a John C. Maxwell certified leadership coach, and drew fascinating parallels between a pilot in the cockpit and a leader in the workplace — both responsible for lives, safety, and direction.

We also explored how AvDyne AeroServices is serving major airlines like American Airlines and Delta Air Lines, while hiring and empowering Ethiopian aviation engineers across the U.S.

And beyond aviation, he revealed what fuels his passion for investing in fintech, building people, and raising the next generation of emerging leaders.
