Jet Linx has appointed Ron Silverman as chief commercial officer and the newest member of its executive leadership team. Silverman, a highly regarded industry veteran, will be responsible for developing and executing the company's strategic growth plan, expanding its base of managed aircraft nationwide, leveraging relationships with vendors and enhancing service offerings to increase the Jet Linx value proposition, among other key initiatives. The announcement was made by Jamie Walker, president and CEO of Jet Linx.

“Ron is a unique talent with exceptional expertise in our industry, and we are thrilled to have him join our team to help lead the next phase of development for our company, alongside myself and our executive leadership team,” says Walker. “He joins us at a pivotal and opportunistic time in the growth of our business, and I am confident he will play an instrumental role in enabling us to accelerate our nationwide expansion.”

Silverman adds: “I am honoured to join the Jet Linx team. Jet Linx has redefined the private aviation experience, and I am excited to have a role in this fast-growing company with clear vision and direction.”

With over 30 years of experience as a leader in the business aviation industry, Silverman brings to Jet Linx his passion for customer service and an understanding of the private aviation market that will further Jet Linx's strategic initiatives. Prior to joining the company, he served as the chief business officer for XO. During his seven-year tenure with XO's parent company, Vista Global, he held various executive and senior leadership positions including president of VistaJet US, where he successfully launched and built VistaJet's presence and market share in the United States; president of client experience for Vista Global Holding; and chief commercial officer at XO. Previously, he served as senior VP of owner services and aircraft management sales with Executive Jet Management, a NetJets company, where he established elevated standards of excellence by maximising client satisfaction and retention and reducing service issues.

Silverman joins Jet Linx following the company's recent acquisition of Meridian's aircraft management and air charter business, which reinforced Jet Linx's position in the New York tri-state region and as the second-largest aircraft management company in the United States. Since its founding in 1999, the operator has become a leading private jet management and jet card company in the United States due to its personalised business model.
