JSSI Parts & Engines (JPE) has appointed Jamie Benthusen as senior director of operations and Timothée Marcie as director, asset sales and acquisitions, EMEAA. The appointments extend JPE’s operational leadership and its whole‑assets sales and acquisition coverage across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
Benthusen brings more than 30 years of experience across aviation operations, aftermarket and global supply chain management. He joins JPE from INAV LLC, where he was a member of the executive leadership team and built the operations function during a period of significant company growth. His background spans the worldwide movement of high‑value aerospace assets, customs and tariff compliance, quality management to ASA 100 standards, and vendor and logistics networks. At JPE, he now leads operations, overseeing the systems and teams responsible for getting certified material to customers on time and fully documented as inventory and demand grow.
Philipe Figueiredo, global vice president, JSSI Parts & Engines, says: “These are two people who make us stronger where it counts, close to our customers and behind the scenes where the work gets done. Jamie brings the operational depth that keeps parts and assets moving reliably worldwide, and Timothée brings the regional expertise and deal experience to extend our reach across EMEAA.”
Marcie joins from the aircraft brokerage world, having spent the past 12 years with firms including Boutsen Aviation and Tangmere Aircraft Sales, where he built a track record in large‑cabin aircraft sales and acquisitions across emerging markets and founded an AI‑powered aviation marketplace platform. Earlier in his career he led sales across northern and eastern China for Dassault Falcon Jet, helping grow the region’s operating fleet from three aircraft to more than 30. As part of a regional sales structure pairing dedicated leaders with each market, he will cover whole‑asset sales and aircraft acquisition across EMEAA alongside JPE’s regional sales directors.
