The Ritchie Group, a Global Jet Transactions Company based in Chesterfield, Missouri, has added Ed Henry as VP of aircraft sales. Henry joins the team at a time of growth and will work with founder, managing director and CEO Scott Ritchie and VP of aircraft sales Rodger Renaud to build new expansion opportunities and grow customer relationships in key sales markets.

Henry began in general and corporate aviation cleaning and fueling aircraft. Starting his career as an A&P technician at Harrisburg Aviation, he moved into director of maintenance on corporate jets to regional sales manager roles with Airwork, Midcoast, KC-Aviation and West Star Aviation, where he guided and advised corporate jet operators through their MRO events.

“I am excited to use my 50 years of experience in executive travel and the trust I have earned to now help guide and advise clients through the acquisition or sale of an aircraft,” he says. “I am fortunate to join the best global jet transaction company in the business.”

Scott Ritchie adds: “We are excited to have such a classic and well-known trusted aviation legend as Ed to join our team. I am excited to see what we can do together for our clients at The Ritchie Group.”
