Connecticut-based aircraft brokerage and consulting firm Guardian Jet has announced that it achieved sales exceeding $2 billion in 2023. It also announced changes in its management and leadership. The company said it experienced “unprecedented growth” in its consulting services, noting that it was the 22-year-old company’s most successful year for new aircraft acquisitions.
“Despite facing a flat market landscape, we’re committed to reinvesting and expanding in every facet of the business,” said Guardian Jet managing partner Mike Dwyer. “From bolstering our workforce to enhancing technological infrastructure and services, Guardian Jet has spared no effort in fortifying our position and driving growth. As we further invest in our people, technology, and services, we’re confident that we will continue to increase market share, drive growth, and solidify our position as a global leader in aircraft sales and acquisitions."
The company announced president Doc Dwyer as managing partner, and former v-p of sales Gabriel Bastos was promoted to head of global sales. Additionally, Meghan Dwyer was named sales director of Europe and Amber Gardner was appointed regional sales manager of West Hudson. Joining the company are John Ballenger, regional sales manager for Midwestern and Western states; Greg Sydor, mid-Atlantic regional sales manager; and Wyatt Breedlove and Brantley Gandy, aircraft market researchers.
"These key leadership changes illustrate our desire to empower the next generation," said managing partner Don Dwyer. "While my brother, Mike, and I aren’t going anywhere, we want to harness the talents and capabilities of our star performers now, and continue to lay the foundation for our continued growth and sustainability in the coming years."
