Bhatia will oversee Eve’s global sales, market intelligence, and government relations divisions. She joins Eve from Jet Support Services, Inc (JSSI), where she served as chief strategy officer. Her tenure at JSSI was marked by strategic initiatives that drove sales and enabled cross-selling and data integration across business units.
Prior to JSSI, Megha Bhatia held a series of leadership roles at Rolls-Royce over a span of more than a decade, holding various leadership positions, culminating in her role as vice president sales and marketing for business aviation.
“Megha’s extensive experience and strategic leadership are going to be instrumental as Eve prepares for LOI conversion into firm orders,” said Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve Air Mobility. “Her ability to drive growth, manage large P&Ls, and lead high-performing teams, combined with her deep understanding of the aviation industry, make her an invaluable addition to our executive team. As we continue to advance the advanced air mobility (AAM) ecosystem, Megha’s expertise will play a crucial role reaching our goals with team initiatives and driving sustainable growth.”
Eve has letters of intent for 2,900 eVTOL aircraft, representing a potential $14.5bn in revenue across 30 customers in 13 countries, the company said. It has also secured agreements with 14 service and operations customers in nine countries and pre-deals for its urban air traffic management solution, Vector, with 17 customers across nine countries.
