Paul R. Adams has over 20 years of management and engineering experience. He joined Pratt & Whitney from Williams International, in 1999, as Director of Turbine Engine Projects. He was then named Chief Systems Engineer, Analytical, in 2002, and most recently named Vice President, Engineering.

Paul’s leadership played a significant role in driving engineering productivity and performance improvements as reflected in the substantially reduced surge rates across all product lines - most notably in the PW4000 ring case. This effort has helped to restore customer confidence. Paul has also guided five Productivity High Impact ACE Teams with the overall objective of delivering 5 percent year-over-year productivity improvement.
