Jet Aviation has appointed Jeremie Caillet as Vice President VIP Completion Programs, effective immediately. Caillet succeeds Neil Boyle, SVP Global Completions, who is retiring at the end of May 2019. Boyle will remain active with the company through its senior advisory board.
In his new role, Caillet will be responsible for the successful execution and delivery of all VIP Completions projects, while providing leadership and direction for all aspects of VIP Completions programmes. Besides, he will collaborate across all operational departments and matrixed global support functions to support the company's OneJet program. He reports directly to Dirk Sapatka, General Manager Basel.
Caillet previously worked for Dassault Falcon Jet in the US and joined Jet Aviation in 2008 as Engineering Team Leader. He later assumed the role of Key Account Manager in the former Falcon Completions line before taking on a Project Manager role in the Completions Center and subsequently becoming Director of PMO Completions. Caillet assumed his most recent role as Director One Jet Projects in January 2017, successfully supporting global alignment projects aimed at driving simplification and effectiveness. He holds a Master's degree in Engineering from the Ecole Superieure des Techniques Aeronautiques et de Construction Automobile (ESTACA) in Paris, France, and an MSc degree in Aircraft Design from the Linkoping University, Sweden.
"Jeremie has demonstrated exceptional project management and leadership skills throughout his tenure with the company, has considerable knowledge of our Completions business and is highly motivated to exceed customer expectations," said Sapatka. "I have every confidence in his ability to do just that and wish him continued success in his new role. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank Neil for his contribution to Jet Aviation and to extend best wishes for a long and healthy retirement."
