Though few know his name, Kenn Ricci is at the helm of an aviation empire that has changed business aviation – private jets to you and me – forever.
A pilot with real world experience, Kenn has drawn upon this throughout his career to ensure Directional Aviation – the aviation investments firm he leads – stays one step ahead of the competition.
But he also uses this to take an employee-focused approach to everything. Having once been a pilot himself, he knows constantly flying tight turnarounds and being laid off every few years does little to boost employee morale.
And by all accounts, he’s one of the most popular CEOs in the industry, respected by employees, division CEOs and competitors alike!
