Bio

Dr. Roman Wild is an internationally recognized aviation executive and sustainabilitydriven innovator with over 35 years of experience in the aerospace, electronics, and IT industries. As CEO of Dornier Technologie Aviation Services GmbH (DOTAS), he has positioned the company at the forefront of environmentally responsible aircraft modernization—offering EASA-certified LED retrofit solutions that help airlines significantly reduce energy consumption, CO₂ emissions, and maintenance waste. A key element of Dr. Wild’s vision is to combine technical innovation with measurable environmental impact. All DOTAS products are designed not only for efficiency and regulatory compliance but also to extend aircraft life cycles and eliminate the need for unnecessary material consumption. His team’s retrofit lighting systems enable weight savings of up to 1.5 kg per unit, contributing directly to fuel reduction and carbon footprint improvement—without requiring structural modifications to aircraft systems. Beyond product design, every DOTAS customer automatically participates in a broader global sustainability effort: with each retrofit program, DOTAS funds certified environmental and social projects across the globe—making every installation part of a larger, transparent ESG contribution. Dr. Wild’s foundation in precision engineering stems from his qualification as a Certified Information Electronics Specialist from the Siemens Academy (1994), where he focused on chip development and thermal testing. Today, that technical depth supports a product philosophy built on zero failure tolerance—reflected in DOTAS’s record of no warranty claims since 2008.He is a respected advisor to airlines, OEMs, and MROs worldwide, currently supporting sustainability-focused retrofit initiatives in collaboration with leading operators across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Australasia.Outside the aviation industry, Dr. Wild holds a PhD in Sports Nutrition Science and serves as an Olympic-level table tennis coach for the national team. His high performance mindset, cultivated through elite sports, aligns seamlessly with his business approach: focused, efficient, and impact-driven. At the Dubai Airshow, Dr. Wild will speak about how aviation retrofit technologies can serve as a fast, scalable enabler of real-world sustainability, with DOTAS as a living example of how environmental responsibility and commercial viability can go hand in hand.
