Aerocor, a Henderson, Nevada-based aircraft brokerage and market intelligence firm specialising in light jets, has added Riata Ready to the company's sales team. She will focus on Embraer Phenom aircraft, strengthening Aerocor's ability to serve owners and buyers in one of the most active segments of the light jet market.

Aerocor combines detailed market data with real-world operational insight to help a wide range of clients, from corporate flight departments to individual owner-operators, navigate aircraft acquisitions and sales with greater clarity.

“Riata brings a unique combination of operational experience, technical knowledge and passion for aviation,” says Gavin Woodman, co-founder of Aerocor. “That perspective helps us better support both experienced operators and first-time jet owners.”

Ready began her aviation career in the US Navy as an enlisted aircraft mechanic working on F/A-18 fighter jets before later deploying aboard the USS Ronald Reagan. While attached to HSM-77, she served as a captain and supervised flight deck operations for H-60 helicopters.

After leaving the military, she transitioned into civilian aviation, earning her CFII and MEI certificates while completing a degree. She later gained experience flying in Part 135 operations, including cargo and drone chase missions.

She is also active in aviation education and mentorship, supporting female pilots through The Ninety-Nines.

“Joining Aerocor is an exciting opportunity to combine my operational background with a data-driven approach to aircraft sales,” says Ready. “The Phenom market continues to evolve, and I look forward to helping owners and buyers navigate it.”
