MELBOURNE, Fla. - Sept. 17, 2024 - Eve Air Mobility ("Eve") (NYSE: EVEX; EVEXW) is pleased to announce the appointment of Megha Bhatia as its new Chief Commercial Officer (CCO). Based in Melbourne, Bhatia will oversee Eve's global sales, market intelligence, and government relations divisions. Bhatia 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, 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 & Marketing for Business Aviation. Bhatia made significant contributions such as transforming the team performance to achieve record sales and increase the technical and commercial client experiences through process improvements and cross-functional collaboration.
"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."
"I am thrilled to join Eve Air Mobility, a pioneering company at the forefront of Advanced Air Mobility, dedicated to transforming how people travel. As an industry leader, EVE is crafting a comprehensive ecosystem of cutting-edge products and solutions, where state-of-the-art eVTOLs are seamlessly integrated with safe operations and optimized agnostic systems, including modern air traffic management. I am proud to become a part of the talented team at EVE, working collaboratively to advance EVE's holistic strategy that supports our extensive global customer base that fosters enduring growth."
Eve boasts the industry's largest backlog with letters of intent for 2,900 eVTOL aircraft, representing a potential $14.5 billion in revenue across 30 customers in 13 countries. Beyond aircraft, the company secured agreements with 14 service and operations customers in 9 countries and pre-deals for its urban air traffic management solution, Vector, with 17 customers across nine countries.
Eve's ongoing expansion of its diverse portfolio of agnostic services and operational solutions has recently culminated in a significant milestone. The company successfully assembled its first full-scale eVTOL prototype at the Embraer test facility in Gavião Peixoto, Sao Paulo State, and completed the selection process for primary suppliers for its eVTOL aircraft.
The company is presently advancing into the next stage of development, which involves a series of comprehensive testing campaigns designed to evaluate every aspect of the aircraft's operation and performance, from flight capabilities to safety features.
