George J. Priester Aviation announces leadership changes
George J. Priester Aviation has unveiled a new leadership team structure.
Brent Moldowan will head up day-to-day operations as president and CEO; strengthening the firm’s regional bases and customer-facing teams. Joining Moldowan on the leadership team are Viviana Kozin, chief operating officer; Ron Carlstrom, chief financial Officer; Rich Ropp, chief sales and services officer; and Stephanie Mueller, chief talent officer.
The new structure will help incorporate the same technology platforms across each base and help develop ways to support similar departments, leveraging the resources and capabilities of the larger company.
“We’re confident in Brent uniting our entire team together where technology and best practices can be shared,” said chairman Andy Priester. “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.”
Moldowan is currently helping Mayo Aviation integrate into the larger George J. Priester Aviation family of companies, after which he will assume the operational leadership of the larger organisation in his new roles. Andy Priester will continue as chairman.
Moldowan previously served the company as president of Mayo Aviation. 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. The company amalgamated its services into one legacy company earlier this year.
