TEAM OZONE

03

Everyone at Ozone continues to be driven by our passion for flying, our love of adventure and our quest 
to create better, safer and higher performing paragliders.

The design team consists of David Dagault, Luc Armant, Fred Pieri, Russell Ogden, Honorin Hamard and 
Sam Jobard. Dav started flying when he was 12 years old and has accumulated a wealth of experience 
in  competition  flying,  XC  and  paraglider  design.  Luc,  a  dedicated  XC  and  competition  addict  has  a 
background  in  naval  architecture.  Fred,  our  resident  geek  is  a  mathematician,  mechanical  engineer 
and vol Biv specialist. Russ is a competition pilot and test pilot with 1000s of hours testing experience. 
World and European champion Honorin is a naturally talented pilot who has been flying since he was 13 
years old. Sam designs and develops our range of harnesses, he has a great deal of experience both 
flying paragliders and designing harnesses. Between them, they bring a wealth of knowledge, ideas and 
experience and work closely together in the design, development and testing process.   

The Ozone speed flying specialists offer a wealth of experience and talent with the likes of Rob Whittall, 
Matt Gerdes and Cade Palmer who ensure that each new model has a thorough test and development 
process.

Mike Cavanagh is the boss and multiple winner of the UK XC league, when not out flying he generally 
keeps control of the mayhem. He is helped by Jean Christophe Skiera (JC) who manages our distribution 
network and the poduct range. Promotion and marketing are co-ordinated by BASE jumping legend 
Matt Gerdes. Back in the office Karine Marconi, Chloe Vila and Isabelle Martinez run the show. These 
wonderful ladies look after the ordering system, the dealers, the design team and the general day to day 
running of the company - without them it would be chaos.

Our  manufacturing  facility  in  Vietnam  is  headed  up  by  Dr.  Dave  Pilkington,  who  works  relentlessly 
manufacturing gliders and producing prototypes, as well as researching materials and manufacturing 
processes for our future products. He is backed up by a superb team managed by Khanh and Phong 
with over 1000 production staff.
