ABOUT DE BRUIJN
I am an aviation executive, G550 Captain, and Head of Aviation Advisory Services with 20+ years of experience leading high-performance corporate and private flight operations. I currently serve at Clay Lacy Aviation, where I partner with principals, executives, and organizations to elevate aviation as a driver of human performance and organizational resilience through operational leadership, safety culture, and research-informed advisory work.In this role, my work integrates operational leadership, strategic advisory, and evidence-based coaching to support clarity, energy, and performance in high-pressure leadership environments.My leadership integrates operational excellence with a strong safety culture and measurable business impact. I have led initiatives across fleet modernization, long-range aircraft strategy, hangar development, and Safety Management System (SMS) implementation—while expanding access to corporate aviation in ways that support executive well-being, collaboration, and organizational effectiveness.In 2025, my peer-reviewed research was published in the Journal of Air Transport Management, examining business travel stress and the moderating role of corporate aircraft utilization on employee well-being, engagement, and retention from a stakeholder perspective. This work reframes aviation ROI beyond time savings, grounding it in organizational psychology and human performance.My current research and advisory interests extend this work into executive mobility, person–environment fit, and the design of travel and operating models that sustain performance in high-demand roles—both within and beyond aviation.I am passionate about building aviation functions that are safe, efficient, and sustainable, while aligned with enterprise mission, values, and long-term strategic goals.
