She has expertise in sales, business development and executive leadership within the private jet industry, and will oversee all aspects of the company including sales, marketing, revenue management, performance and guest services for the brand. This appointment makes her the first African American and African American female to lead a major private business aviation company.

Most recently she was engaged with the JetSuite sales team in a consulting role.

CEO Alex Wilcox says: "I am incredibly honoured and proud to appoint Stephanie as president of JetSuite and know that her expansive aviation knowledge and sales leadership will be a key asset for the company. We are thrilled to have her lead the JetSuite team as we enter the next phase of growth and our tenth year in operation."
