Steve Bell

Steve Bell serves as Senior Vice President of Product at RIM Alliance, where he leads the inventory management team and ensures the company maintains a supply of quality parts at competitive prices. With nearly three decades of experience in the aviation parts industry, Steve plays a key role in optimizing product availability, pricing, and operational efficiency across the organization.

Before joining RIM, Steve spent 22 years with Intertrade—five prior to its acquisition by Collins Aerospace and 17 under Collins ownership. During his tenure, he helped grow the company from roughly $20 million to $80 million in annual revenue, advancing from sales and trading into leadership roles within inventory management and operations. He later joined RIM Enterprises, where he has spent nearly eight years continuing to refine sourcing strategies and drive sustainable growth.

Steve holds a bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering from Iowa State University and an MBA from the University of Iowa. Outside of work, Steve volunteers as an instructor at a nonprofit TaeKwonDo school. He and his partner, Jess, are proud empty nesters with three grown children, three cats, and a very anxious, but much-loved, diabetic dog. They also enjoy time with their grandchild, with another on the way.
