US aircraft acquisitions and sales company OGaraJets has hired a market analyst to support its expanding research department. Chadd Smith will support and share in market research responsibilities.

Smith has over five years of recent parts sales experience and knows how to make connections, develop relationships and pinpoint opportunities through networking. He will be tasked with keeping market research up-to-date and finding ways to allow the sales team to interact with warmer leads than those produced by simply cold calling.

"Chadd is a competent communicator and aviation enthusiast. He is trustworthy, dedicated and organised," says sales engineer and market research manager Austin Bass. "I look forward to showing him what we've built to this point in the research department and seeing where he takes it from here. He will take what is good and make it great.”

Smith, too, is excited about the opportunity. “I'm grateful to have joined such a determined team and look forward to assisting the sales and marketing teams in sourcing inventory in a tight market environment."
