Growing up, Vance Hilderman dreamed of being in the Naval Academy. He passed all his tests with flying colors, but had less than perfect vision. Â Because of this, he was told he could only be a navigator. Vance denied the offer and followed his dream of going into aviation elsewhere. Â Today Vance serves as the CEO and CTO of AFuzion, the worldâs largest aviation and safety-critical services companies.
Pursuing degrees in both Computer Engineering and Business, Vance had already had 4 failed businesses before he got it right. Â His 5th attempt grew into the worldâs largest outsourced aviation avionics software development and certification company. He says the failed attempts taught him one valuable lesson: start with more money. Heâs since started a few more successful businesses.
