Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based turnkey aircraft dealer-broker SmartJets has welcomed Konstantin Kozenko and Yvette Clack to the team.

As sales director, Kozenko's mandate is to drive sales internationally, with a focus on eastern Europe.

As lead sales support and market analyst, Clack's new role is to generate intelligence, support sales and manage client relations. Most recently she was sales director at Wheels Up, and previously regional sales manager at Jetex. Earlier in her career, Clack spent four years with automobile manufacturer Ferrari. A native of Wichita, Kansas, she holds a BA in communications and media studies from Florida Atlantic University.

“We are very pleased to welcome both Konstantin and Yvette to the SmartJets team,” says CEO Ben Shirazi. “These two professionals bring considerable aviation industry experience with expertise in brokerage, client service and market analysis, and impressive academic records.
