New head of regional MEO sales for Jet Aviation

Benz will now lead all regional MRO sales directors and the sales support team. As part of an overall customer relationship enhancement, he will also work closely with all Jet Aviation sites to optimize internal capabilities and capacities, and to effectively manage customer relations.

Benz brings considerable aviation knowledge and experience to this role. He is responsible for growing sales and expanding Jet Aviation’s MRO service portfolio available in the EMEA and Asia regions to all customers. He began his aviation career with Daimler-Benz Aerospace before moving to the European Aeronautic Defence & Space Company (EADS), holding several positions in marketing and regional strategy. Benz holds a degree in Aeronautical Engineering from Stuttgart University and gained direct MRO sales experience from MTU Maintenance Hannover GmbH in the field of commercial aeronautical powerplants. Prior to joining Jet Aviation, he was General Manager Sales, Marketing and Business Development at a large aerospace technology company.

Based in Basel, Benz reports directly to Christof Späth, senior vice president MRO and FBO services for EMEA & Asia. “Stefan’s appointment underscores Jet Aviation’s commitment to quality customer experience," says Christof Späth, "and I have no doubt that our customers will benefit from enhanced services and faster response times with improved efficiencies under his leadership."
