2024 AMT Top 40 Under 40: Keli Mielke

Aug. 20, 2024

Keli Mielke’s positive attitude and unparalleled ability to engage people, even those outside the industry, in aviation sets her apart. The often-overlooked customer service aspect in maintenance is where she truly shines, never missing a beat.

Mielke is responsible for the onboarding of Stein's Aircraft Services MX software and CRM platforms, ensuring seamless integration and operation. Her proactive approach has also led to the implementation of additional safety procedures for the technicians on the floor, enhancing overall workplace safety.

Family motivates her to succeed.

“My husband, my son, my daughter. My mother and grandmother who have given me everything and more in this lifetime,” Mielke said. “This also includes my work family. I work with a team of individuals who inspire me to be better. My boss Mike Eddy has provided me with so many invaluable opportunities, making him proud drives me to succeed.”

Her contributions have not gone unnoticed, as evidenced by her NBAA YOPRO award. Mielke's influence extends beyond her immediate responsibilities. She takes initiative, proactively leads projects, keeps customers informed, remains reliable, solves problems, takes ownership, and consistently goes the extra mile.

Her effective leadership fosters confidence not only within her team but also among other professionals and those interested in the aviation industry.

Mielke's dedication and proactive approach are key to the continued success and growth of Stein’s operations. She also works with local charities and non-profit organizations.

“Taking care of our communities is up to us. Giving back is crucial,” Mielke said. “Women’s and Childrens Horizons is a wonderful organization that advocated for victims of sexual and domestic violence.”
