Well known competition paraglider pilot Jörg Ewald has taken over the reins at Flytec.
Flytec announced the move in a statement published on their website. Flytec’s founder, Peter Joder, and manager, Lorenz Camenzind, said the time had come for a “new generation” to take over.
They said:
After 31 years, the time has come to pass on Flytec’s management to a new generation. We are pleased to introduce today Jörg Ewald as our successor.
Jörg is an active paraglider pilot with a broad technical background. For us it was important hand over to someone who will keep our vision for the company alive.
We want Flytec to continue inventing and building the technical tools that allow paraglider pilots, hang glider pilots and balloonists to realise their flying dreams.
The two of us will remain connected with Flytec, but will withdraw from the daily business over the next few months. Therefore already now a big thank you to all our customers, dealers, partners and employees for bearing with us over such a long time.
Jorg, who has been a pilot for 22 years and is an experienced software engineer, said he was looking forward to combining his two passions, “flying and technology”.
