Marc Cook has joined Van\u2019s Aircraft as E-commerce and Media Manager. In this role, he will help drive the expansion of the Van\u2019s webstore and lead improvements to customer-facing systems and communications.<\/p>\n

As editor in chief of Kitplanes magazine for a total of 11 years (and more than 130 issues) and a multi-time builder, Marc has a deep appreciation for homebuilt aircraft. A multiengine and instrument-rated pilot, Marc has flown 5,000 hours across more than 200 types. He\u2019s flown all popular models of RVs except for the RV-3.<\/p>\n

Marc\u2019s responsibilities will draw on his experience as a content director for a manufacturer and distributor outside of aviation, where he led e-commerce platform integration with sales and manufacturing systems. We\u2019re excited to welcome him to the Van\u2019s team, where he\u2019ll help enhance the online customer experience and strengthen how we engage with and support the Van\u2019s community.<\/p>\n
