Bill Boisture, who resigned suddenly in April as president of Gulfstream Aerospace, has been on the job for the last 30 days as president of NetJets. He joined the Woodbridge, N.J.-based fractional-ownership operator early last month and is directing the company’s North American operations out of Columbus, Ohio. Boisture will report directly to NetJets chairman and CEO Richard Santulli (who previously had also held the title of president) and work with him on “new strategies” and on ways to “continue to streamline the operational aspects” of NetJets.
At the recently concluded NBAA Convention, Boisture said Santulli approached him regarding the job at NetJets, partly as a result of their 15-year professional relationship. NetJets is Gulfstream’s single biggest customer, with more than 45 combined G200s, GIV- SPs and GVs (the majority of which are GIV-SPs) in operation. “We have done deals on a handshake–the bedrock of our relationship,” Boisture said at the convention.
