Gulfstream Aerospace has strengthened its sales organisation across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and the Asia-Pacific region (APAC) with a series of leadership appointments aimed at supporting demand for its next-generation aircraft.

Marc Ghaly has been appointed division vice president of sales, reporting to Michael Swift, Gulfstream's group vice president of sales for EMEA and APAC. With nearly two decades of experience in business aviation, Ghaly brings expertise spanning engineering and global aircraft sales and will lead the team from Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Also based in Dubai, Jad Benhaïjoub has been promoted to regional vice president of government sales for EMEA and APAC. He joined Gulfstream in 2023 as regional sales manager for EMEA and South Asia following more than 10 years with CAE, where he worked in business aviation and helicopter training sales.

“Marc and Jad bring a strong depth of leadership and international experience that will continue to strengthen our sales presence across these key regions,” says Scott Neal, senior vice president of worldwide sales at Gulfstream. “Their expertise is well aligned with the growing demand we are seeing from both new aircraft and government customers.”

The company has also expanded its regional sales coverage through two further appointments. Oliver Kuschka has been named regional sales manager for Central and Eastern Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States and Israel, while Omar Aker has been promoted to regional sales manager for the Middle East, Africa and Turkey.
