Luigi Morsa PhD

Experience Structural Engineer at Airbus Helicopters (Former Team Leader at SII Deutschland GmbH)

Jak is known to me through the team I led for the work package of the [redacted] project at Airbus Helicopters. Based on my experience, I can say that Jak was a key player in the that team because he is fast learner and smart engineer. In addition, he has wide avionics knowledge and he is easily able to move from one activity to another. In addition, he demonstrated good skills when satisfying the customer and he’s always able to find a good compromise in critical situations. Finally, his english humour, brought many good moods to the team. For all this reasons, I consider him a remarkable and resourceful individual, with great potential to be applied in even demanding roles of the Aerospace Industry.

He is actively searching for ways to engage himself in the team and has been a great addition to the group. Mr. Stoughtons defining feature is his British sense of humor that has brought a lot of jolly moments while working on the project. I can recommend Mr. Stoughton wholeheartedly as an efficient, hardworking employee and great team player.
