George J. Priester Aviation has created a new leadership team structure, with industry veteran Brent Moldowan heading up day-to-day operations as president and CEO. Moldowan was part of Mayo Aviation’s integration into the larger George J. Priester Aviation family of companies.
“We’re confident in Brent uniting our entire team together where technology and best practices can be shared. His experience provides a cohesive way to support our front-line employees, who have built long-standing relationships with and understand the unique needs of our customers in each region,” said Andy Priester, who will continue as chairman and is “overseeing and implementing the company’s larger vision.”
Moldowan, having previously served the company as president of Mayo Aviation, will coordinate direction and alignment between the company’s brands. Each regional base—Priester Aviation in the Midwest, Mayo in the West, and Hill Private Aviation in the Southeast—will have a president to lead it, and will continue to provide personal aircraft owner and charter services.
Joining Moldowan on the George J. Priester Aviation leadership team are Viviana Kozin, COO; Ron Carlstrom, CFO; Rich Ropp, chief sales and services officer; and Stephanie Mueller, chief talent officer.
