Ben Scott is a summer intern working in AARs Commercial Distribution Department. He is majoring in
General Engineering with a secondary field study in Engineering Administration at the University of
Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and will be graduating this fall. He is interested in the supply chain arena
and heard about AAR from a few of his friends as a result of his participation in the Student Aircraft
Builders Group at U of I. When he did a little more research on AAR, he immediately knew the Company
would be an ideal place to learn more about aviation.
Ben reports to Darren Spiegel, General Manager of Commercial Aircraft Distribution and works
alongside Paige Immordino, a Sr. Pricing Analyst. Between the two of them they have broadened his
knowledge of the aviation industry. For instance, Paige has taught him about Excel functionality such as
the vlookup function. This cuts off a significant amount of time off sifting through data. Darren has
taught Ben how to call brokers and request quotes by means of negotiation.
Fun Facts about Ben: He is from Arlington Heights, IL and he enjoys going to the gym everyday
whether it be to lift weights, play basketball or run on the treadmill. During his break this summer, in
addition to his internship at AAR, hes helping his mother run her Airbnb business and is also helping her
with the sale of her house. He also recently purchased his first new car as a way to celebrate his last
semester of college and taking his first step into adulthood.
