Jet Linx has hired former Vista Global executive Ron Silverman as chief commercial officer, and he will help lead the next phase of development for the Omaha, Nebraska-based charter and jet card provider following its recent acquisition of Meridian’s aircraft management and charter business.
“Ron joins us at a pivotal and opportunistic time in the growth of the Jet Linx business, and I am confident he will play an instrumental role in enabling us to accelerate our nationwide expansion,” president and CEO Jamie Walker said.
Silverman has more than 30 years of experience in business aviation, most recently serving as chief business officer for XO. During his seven years at Vista, XO’s parent company, Silverman served as VistaJet US president, president of client experience for Vista Global Holding, and XO’s chief commercial officer.
Prior to joining XO and Vista, Silverman was senior v-p of owner services and aircraft management sales at NetJets’s Executive Jet Management. “Jet Linx has redefined the private aviation experience and I am excited to have a role in this fast-growing company with clear vision and direction,” he said.
