13 March 2020 - Chrysanthe Gussis is appointed by Bye Aerospace as Strategic Advisor.
With a decade long experience at HellerEhrman, Gussis rose to partner, structuring and leading a wide range of debt, equity, consumer, commercial, real estate and corporate transactions.
"It is an honor to welcome Chrysanthe as a member of our Strategic Advisory Board," said George E. Bye, CEO of Bye Aerospace. "Her involvement with leading teams at high-tech companies is particularly helpful as we continue growth transition preparations."
"Airplanes release hundreds of millions of tons of pollutants into the earth's atmosphere every year, significantly contributing to global warming," Gussis said. "With air travel expected to double over the next two decades, Bye Aerospace is uniquely positioned to bring more trained pilots to the global economy at a radically lower cost with far fewer impacts on the earth-ultimately benefiting the customer and the global economy."
Gussis has remarkable achievements attached to her name like she helped make solar energy cheaper by developing scalable, lower-cost financing and creating systems and policies to enable greater efficiency and scale during her stint at SolarCity from 2009 to 2017. She structured over $6 billion in equity and debt financings, deploying over $9 billion in assets, and scaled consumer and commercial financing programs and products to 100% year-on-year increases in capital raising and asset deployment.
