Kentucky-based sales, acquisitions and management provider Thoroughbred Aviation has appointed Lee Brewster as vice president.

Previously at ATP (Flightdocs) where she was vice president of marketing and engagement, and before that FlightSafety International, Brewster's experience in marketing, operations, customer success and industry engagement will continue the company's growth on the transactional side while expanding additional service offerings.

“The aircraft transaction and brokerage world is an environment that requires people with a highly analytical mind coupled with a dedication to customer service and the customer experience,“ says president Nathan Winkle. “Lee brings over 20 years of industry experience along with the leadership and skills needed for the next phase of growth of Thoroughbred Aviation. Her diverse aviation background and willingness to go above and beyond are going to benefit our client base significantly."

Thoroughbred Aviation is a full-service aircraft transaction brokerage specialising in bringing aircraft with the highest pedigree to the open market and their buyers. Its international presence and extensive network, the ability to pair high-performance business aircraft with both experienced and new-to-market buyers, is behind the need to expand the team and reach.

“I am fortunate to have known and worked with Nathan for many years. I have always held him in high regard and respected his approach to operating with integrity in this industry," adds Brewster. "Since the beginning of my career, my goal has always been to act, serve and smooth the way as often as possible for my customers and teammates. Joining Thoroughbred is a unique opportunity for me to bring my skill set to a new segment of business aviation and help a business grow and expand.”
