Mr. Bero will be responsible for the development, implementation, and evaluation of marketing plans and communication strategies. He most recently completed a five-year tenure of employment at Samsung Mobile Electronics.
Mr. Bero is implementing a new marketing campaign that features people in every advertisement. It is a departure from traditional campaigns that focus solely on imagery of aircraft to sell its service. This campaign focuses on the needs of customer who use private-aviation firms and the firm’s commitment to customer service.

Most recently, Blackett cofounded Launch, a high-tech accessible service that integrates physical and online communities.
“Flexjet offers an exclusive, premium experience—along with customized private aviation solutions that only we can provide—for a complete offering no competitor can match,” said Mr. Bero. “Our goal is to bring innovative marketing ideas that change the game for the entire private aviation industry.”
