Sales team is focus of Gulfstream appointments
As two long serving sales VPs retire from Gulfstream, so the company welcomes Michael Swift and Chad Beaulieu to its EMEA-ISC and south central US teams. Joining Swift is Tim Wood, who returns to the company.
Chad Beaulieu is regional vice president of sales for Gulfstream's south central US territory.

Gulfstream Aerospace Corp has named Michael Swift regional senior vice president of sales for Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Indian subcontinent (EMEA-ISC), and Chad Beaulieu regional vice president of sales for Gulfstream's south central United States territory.

Swift replaces Roger Sperry, who will retire at the end of the year. Sperry has worked at Gulfstream for more than 20 years and spent nearly 50 years in business aviation.

“I would first like to thank Roger Sperry for his immense contribution to Gulfstream's success through the years,” says senior vice president, worldwide sales Scott Neal. “His vision and leadership especially helped establish our leading market share and number one brand position in the Asia-Pacific region."

“Michael Swift has quickly established himself as an accomplished sales leader, and I am excited to have him join the Gulfstream sales leadership team,” continues Neal. “His strong customer-focused skills and background in aircraft finance will allow him to build upon the Gulfstream success we've enjoyed in the EMEA-ISC region.”

Swift will continue to be based at Gulfstream's New York City sales and design centre through the end of the year and will then relocate to the London centre. The EMEA-ISC team also sees the return of Tim Wood, who has rejoined Gulfstream as regional sales manager for the Middle East, Africa and the Indian subcontinent.

Beaulieu has also served as Gulfstream's regional sales manager in the south central US territory as well as holding various other roles in the business aviation industry. He replaces Sherman Griffith, who is retiring after serving on the Gulfstream US sales team for 15 years.

“Chad Beaulieu has established himself as a strong sales performer with a reputation for outstanding customer service. These skills will serve as great assets as we continue to grow and expand with the recent launch of the Gulfstream G400 and Gulfstream G800,” adds Neal. “Our goal is to ensure these transitions are seamless to our customers. We welcome Michael, Chad and Tim to their new roles, and we thank Roger and Sherman for their dedication to Gulfstream and wish them both well in their retirement."
