About
Developing leaders. Aligning teams. Resolving conflict.
Chase Solutions Consulting is built on 30+ years of firsthand experience as a manufacturing leader and director — selecting, promoting, and developing the leaders who make organizations perform.
Our Story
Built from the floor up.
500+
Leaders developed across manufacturing and enterprise organizations
Chase Solutions Consulting was founded by someone who has lived the challenge from the inside. Mark Spanial spent more than three decades as a manufacturing leader and director in the aerospace industry — responsible not just for operations, but for identifying, selecting, promoting, and developing the leaders who made those operations run.
That experience shapes everything we do. We don't approach leadership development as an academic exercise — we approach it the way a seasoned manufacturing director would: with a clear eye for what good leadership actually looks like in practice, what gets in the way of it, and what it takes to build it deliberately and at scale.
We work with a select number of clients at any given time — by design. That selectivity means every engagement gets our full attention, every leader gets genuine investment, and every organization we work with leaves more capable than when we arrived.
Experience
30+ years of proven leadership.
10 Years
United States Marine Corps
A decade of service in the U.S. Marine Corps forged a leadership philosophy built on discipline, accountability, and mission-driven teamwork — principles that remain the foundation of every client engagement.
30+ Years
Aerospace Manufacturing Leadership
Over three decades as a manufacturing leader and director in the aerospace industry — responsible for selecting, promoting, and developing leaders across complex, high-stakes operational environments.
Career-long
Leadership Development
A consistent track record of identifying leadership potential, building development pathways, and producing leaders who go on to drive exceptional results — from frontline supervisors to executive teams.
Industry Expertise
Forged in the most regulated environments in manufacturing.
Mark's entire civilian career has been spent inside aerospace manufacturing — specifically within AS9100 and FAA-regulated environments where the margin for error is zero and the standards for leadership are correspondingly high. That background isn't incidental to the work we do. It's the foundation of it.
AS9100 Quality Management
Decades of leadership inside AS9100-certified organizations means a deep understanding of the discipline, documentation, and accountability structures that define aerospace manufacturing — and the leadership behaviors that make those systems actually work.
FAA Regulatory Environments
Experience leading teams and developing leaders within FAA-regulated operations brings a firsthand understanding of the compliance pressures, safety culture requirements, and organizational dynamics unique to aviation and aerospace manufacturing.
High-Stakes Operational Leadership
In environments where quality escapes and leadership failures carry real consequences, developing capable leaders isn't optional — it's mission-critical. That's the standard we bring to every engagement, regardless of industry.
What We Stand For
Principles that shape every engagement.
Leadership is a practice
Great leaders aren't born — they're developed through deliberate investment, honest feedback, and the courage to keep growing. We build that capacity at every level of your organization.
Teams are systems
A high-performing team is not a collection of talented individuals — it's a system with shared norms, trust, and accountability. We help teams build the structures that make collaboration sustainable.
Conflict is information
Unresolved conflict is one of the most expensive problems in any organization. We treat it as data — a signal about unmet needs, misaligned expectations, or broken systems — and we help you address the root, not just the symptom.
Candor over comfort
We tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. The most valuable thing we can offer is an honest assessment — even when it's difficult.
Leadership
Direct expertise. Every engagement.
