Regional vice president for the Central US Chris Hollingsworth.

Jetcraft has appointed Chris Hollingsworth and Sean O'Leary as regional vice presidents (RVPs) to spearhead its operations across the United States.

As two of Jetcraft's top sales directors, the promotion of Hollingsworth and O’Leary recognise their excellence in structuring some of business aviation’s most complex, cross-border transactions, with the strategic leadership positions enhancing the company’s offer of unparalleled service, complemented by on-the-ground market intelligence.

Dan Kilkeary, SVP sales, Americas says: “Following years of confident organic and inorganic business expansion, these appointments are another piece in the intricate global Jetcraft puzzle, strategically designed to deliver excellence for our clients. With the US continuing to lead demand for pre-owned business jets, I’m certain that Chris and Sean will, as regional vice presidents, help us take the next step in our North American growth trajectory. Their unstoppable attitude, industry knowledge and dedication to the high standards for which Jetcraft is renowned promise a bright future for the US team and our customers.”

The Midwest (East and West) and South Central US territories will be led by Chris Hollingsworth as RVP for the Central US, bringing extensive local and industry knowledge from his 15 years at Jetcraft, most recently as sales director for the South Central US.

As RVP for the East Coast US, Sean O'Leary will lead business development in Jetcraft's Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Southeast US territories, following a successful career as a sales director managing northern Europe transactions.

A third regional vice president in the West Coast US is to be announced in due course.
