Neil Medley, Chief Operating Officer, Group
Neil joins as Chief Operating Officer ("COO"), a new position
within the leadership team. Neil joins the business from his former
post of Chief Operating Officer of BAE Systems Applied Intelligence
(part of BAE Systems plc, the FTSE 50 company). Neil will work
alongside Marwan Khalek, Chief Executive of Gama Aviation, to
improve business performance across all geographies.
Sergio Oliveira e Silva, General Manager, Hong Kong
Sergio joins the Group after twelve years' experience at Netjets
and four years' experience in Hong Kong with Metrojet and Jet

performance of the Hong Kong business. With three aircraft already

additional scale into the Hong Kong operation.

Giovanni joins Gama Aviation with twenty-five years' aviation
experience, of which twelve is in business aviation. He will lead
the African business. With experience in his previous role with

Aviation operates), Giovanni is ideally positioned to manage the
dynamics of this market, with the remit of re-launching the African
operations.
