Looking to expand its reach in the business and commercial aviation data market, JetNet named Greg Fell to lead the company in a newly created CEO position. Ownership of JetNet is remaining with the Esposito family, and Tony Esposito, who is president, owner, and majority shareholder, will work with Fell as the company moves forward on a strategic plan to increase its research capabilities, information technology use, and business intelligence platform development, JetNet said.

Fell brings a 30-year background of senior management, including strategic development and IT infrastructure growth, across a number of industries to his new role. His background spans business aviation, automotive, software/technology, and social media, according to JetNet. This includes serving as CEO for the social media company Display Social, COO of Gama Aviation, and positions with Ford Motor Co. and Terex.

“Greg is the right leader for JetNet, at the right time,” said Esposito. “This was an essential and momentous decision for us and Greg’s extensive experience, values, and ethics helped us realize that he was the appropriate person to bring into the fold.”

A certified Six Sigma Champion, Fells serves on numerous boards and advisory councils in the telecommunications, aviation, and oil and gas sectors, and also is an industrial mentor for Columbia University.
