key sales campaigns and business operations.
He succeeds Erika Pearson, who was recently named
Vice President of Boeing Commercial Airplanes Sales and Marketing

“I am honored to lead BBJ and continue our
decades-long history of building the most capable and reliable
business jets on the market,” Joe said. “As we look to the
horizon, we are well-positioned to meet the strong business
aviation demand by providing our customers an unrivaled travel
experience and best-in-class economics.”
More than 260 Boeing Business Jets have been sold
since the business was founded in 1996.
