Integrity. Trust. Experience. Knowledge.
I have known Tim Geil for my entire aviation insurance career, and those four words describe him better than any résumé could. He has been a trusted resource to our clients and to me — consistently showing up with the technical depth, candor, and advocacy that complex aviation claims demand.
Tim occupies rarified air in this industry. With nearly 40 years of hands-on experience spanning engine and structural investigations, high-dollar repair negotiations, and losses ranging from minor damage to full-board NTSB events, there are very few people who have seen what he has seen - or who bring what he brings to the table.
His ability to advocate fairly on behalf of all parties, deliver unvarnished honesty in difficult situations, and navigate even the most sensitive claims with professionalism is simply best in class.
As Tim launches Geil Aviation Consulting, LLC, I can say without hesitation: airlines, operators, owners, and insurers who engage him are in exceptional hands.
