Vice President of Engineering at GE Aviation, Mohammad Ehteshami has helped build the world’s largest and most powerful jet engines during his 32-year career at GE. But as a boy in a tiny desert village in Iran, odds were he would grow up farming pistachios. That is, until his mother intervened.
“One day while working in the field… [my mom] holds me by my ear… do you see these planes flying? You are going to go make that plane.You are not becoming a pistachio farmer,” said Mohammad. From that moment, he worked hard to get to the U.S. and find a career in Aviation. During his time at GE Aviation, he experienced defining moments on the GE90 and GE Honda programs.
