Gulfstream Aerospace added Oliver Bergsch as regional v-p of sales for Central and Eastern Europe and Jim Beckstein as regional v-p of sales for Southern California and Arizona.

Bergsch, who is based in Vienna, brings more than 25 years of aviation experience to Gulfstream, most recently spending the past 15 in senior sales management roles at sister company Jet Aviation. During that time, he oversaw maintenance, FBOs, and charter and management sales activities in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific. He has also collaborated with Gulfstream’s customer support sales leadership team.

Scott Neal, senior v-p of worldwide sales for Gulfstream, said he continues to see interest in Gulfstream aircraft in Central and Eastern Europe, noting, Bergsch “will play a key role in helping us grow our fleet in those markets.”

Beckstein, who is president of the Northern California Business Aviation Association, has nearly 40 years of aviation experience, including the last 25 involving business aviation and sales. He has experience in a range of areas including engineering, fractional aircraft ownership, new and preowned aircraft sales and marketing, and sales team leadership. In his new role, Beckstein succeeds Richard Milling, who is retiring after more than 20 years with the company and 30 years in aviation.
