Lexington Park, Md. – For nearly two decades, AVIAN has built a name for itself by providing not only top-notch contract services, but also critically acclaimed project consulting. So much so that in 2022, AVIAN added a new company to its portfolio --- a world-class consulting company.
Once simply AVIAN Consulting, Sapphire Solutions, LLC is capturing work for the company that requires specialty skillsets, advanced knowledge, and the art of critical thinking.
A subsidiary of Avian Holdings, Inc., Sapphire Solutions provides senior-level expert consulting services across a wide range of disciplines including but not limited to Digital/Systems Engineering, Flight Test Safety/Certification, Risk Management, Technology Road Mapping, Quality, Training/Workforce Development, and Strategic Leadership.
Sapphire Solutions was announced in late 2023 and has been expanding its client base significantly over the past 8 months.
"Its services are focused on rapid and responsive consulting to enable customer success all while creating meaningful experiences and connecting talented people with important work,” said Kevin Switick, CEO of Avian Holdings, Inc. “Our passion for our work builds better partnerships for the future, and our wisdom creates real success, everyone is the hero of their own journey, and our mission is to create a world full of heroes."
Notably for Sapphire Solutions, the company has worked with government, industry, and academia in the U.S. and in Europe.
"At Sapphire Solutions, our team of experts is dedicated to enriching your understanding and delivering top-notch business consulting services for guaranteed success," said Anthony Cifone, General Manager of Sapphire Solutions. “As someone who came from government services, I know how important it is to have timely and relevant guidance from qualified experts.”
Cifone has served as General Manager of AVIAN’s consulting subsidiary since 2022. Prior to leading Sapphire Solutions, Cifone had a distinguished career with the U.S. Government, where he served in various roles in the field of Engineering and as a Senior Executive Service, holding positions such as Director of Propulsion and Power, Deputy Commander for Research and Engineering, and Vice Commander of the Naval Air Systems Command.

The cadre of consultants like Tony continues to expand as the company grows. Sapphire Solutions now has nearly two dozen consultants from a variety of professional fields at the ready to support in various capacities.
