Global Jet Capital has appointed Tom Kacin to serve as the VP of sales for the northeastern and midwest US region. Kacin, a seasoned financial services and equipment financing expert, will be pivotal in developing relationships and supporting clients across these key areas. He will report to Mike Christie, who stepped into the role of head of sales for the Americas in March.

Before Kacin joined Global Jet Capital, he worked in market-facing sales leadership and management roles for Webster Capital Finance, Terex Financial Services, Citibank and Wachovia. His deep expertise in market-facing sales and leadership will be instrumental in driving growth and delivering tailored financing solutions to a diverse client base in the northeastern and midwest regions.

Kacin is enthusiastic about the market and joining Global Jet Capital, stating: “I'm looking forward to the opportunity to help both corporate and UHNWI clients benefit from the innovative and customised financing solutions Global Jet Capital offers for the business aviation market.”

In alignment with this appointment, Global Jet Capital is executing a strategic realignment of its North American sales territories to optimise its sales force and capitalise on market opportunities. Hannah Davis, formerly vice president of sales for the eastern US, will now lead the newly formed southeastern US region. John Arlinghaus, formerly associate sales director of the central US region, will now oversee the western US region as well as Latin America.

Christie, head of sales for the Americas, notes: “We are delighted to welcome Tom to our dynamic team. Tom's passion for aviation and strong equipment finance background will help us continue to provide bespoke solutions to our clients. The territory realignment will provide better coverage of key markets allowing our team to be closer to our key partners.”
