Stephanie Chung has been appointed president of JetSuite where she will be responsible for sales, revenue management, marketing, guest services, and performance of the brand. Chung’s new leadership role establishes her as the first African American and first African American female to be at the helm of a major private business aviation company. Chung recently served as a consultant for the company’s sales team and has more than 30 years of commercial and business aviation experience.

"I am incredibly honored and proud to appoint Stephanie as president of JetSuite and know that her expansive aviation knowledge and sales leadership will be a key asset for the company," said Alex Wilcox, CEO of JetSuite and JetSuiteX.

Chung worked for Piedmont Airlines and US Airways before taking the role of vice president of sales for the western region for Flexjet. She also worked for Skyjet and has dedicated time to executive coaching, sales mentoring, and business advising. Chung has published multiple works and has created various sales courses.

She is based in Dallas and is joining JetSuite upon recent announcements of investments from Qatar Airways and JetBlue, a partnership with Zunum Aero, and a code share between JetBlue and JetSuiteX. "We are thrilled to have Stephanie lead the JetSuite team as we enter the next phase of growth and our tenth year in operation,” said Wilcox.
