US-Mexico Market Aerospace Chief Human Resources Officer

CONFIDENTIAL CANDIDATE PROFILE Presented exclusively by Top Notch Finders, Inc. — Retained Executive Search

Chief Human Resources Officer | Aerospace — US–Mexico Market Reference: TNF-CHRO-2026-072

Snapshot A strategic HR executive currently serving as CHRO for an aerospace manufacturer with operations on both sides of the US–Mexico border. Open to a confidential conversation about a CHRO or top HR leadership mandate at an aerospace company scaling cross-border operations, building a binational workforce, or strengthening talent and compliance in a highly regulated, security-sensitive industry.

Why this candidate matters

• Led the human resources function for a binational aerospace organization of 5,000+ employees across US and Mexico sites

• Built the talent strategy for a major Mexico-side aerospace expansion, scaling a site from startup to 1,500+ skilled workers while meeting demanding ramp timelines

• Reduced annualized turnover by double digits in competitive Baja and US aerospace-cluster labor markets through retention, workforce-development, and technical-training pipelines

• Commanded the people-side of regulatory complexity—ITAR/EAR personnel compliance, AS9100 workforce requirements, and US–Mexico labor law (including Mexico’s reformed labor and union framework)

• Partnered on 2 cross-border M&A integrations, harmonizing compensation, benefits, and culture across distinct national workforces

What sets them apart A bilingual (English/Spanish), bicultural HR leader who genuinely understands both the US aerospace talent market and the realities of building a skilled aerospace workforce in Mexico—maquiladora and IMMEX labor dynamics, technical-skills pipelines, university and CONALEP/technical partnerships, and the union landscape under Mexico’s labor reform. Equally credible in a US boardroom and on a Mexican production floor. Known for treating workforce strategy as a competitive advantage in an industry where skilled-talent scarcity is the binding constraint on growth.

Ideal next role An aerospace company—OEM, Tier 1, or MRO—needing a CHRO to architect a binational talent strategy, lead a cross-border expansion or startup, integrate an acquisition, build skilled-workforce pipelines, or elevate HR into a true strategic partner while navigating ITAR, AS9100, and US–Mexico labor compliance.
