Florida-based private aviation business AeroVanti Club has tapped Paolo Ferreri, a former chief executive and chairman of Piaggio America, to be its interim chief operations officer.
“My experience with Piaggio, an aviation pioneer in its own right, perfectly prepared me to lead AeroVanti’s operations during this exciting time in the company’s history," the new COO said.
The company said the hiring came "at a time of incredible momentum and record growth of more than 400% year-over-year" and after it was listed among the Baltimore Business Journal’s “top 10 startups to watch in 2023” and the Tampa Bay Business Journal’s “Top 23 Startups to Watch".
“When we launched AeroVanti, we set out to completely disrupt the private aviation model, proving that luxury travel can be delivered at a competitive price point and an incredible value,” said AeroVanti chief executive Patrick Britton-Harr.
