About Jenny Rancourt
Fueled by passion, driven by purpose - I\'m committed to advancing the future of aviation through cross-functional collaboration and a steadfast focus on safety, innovation, trust, and operational excellence.With over 20 years of experience in the aviation industry, I\'ve led with vision, energy, and a solution-focused mindset from the flight deck to strategic leadership roles. My journey spans high-profile client engagement, sustainability initiatives, and operational excellence. I’m a former Commercial Pilot and Flight Instructor, and hold a degree in Aeronautical Science with a minor in Aviation Safety from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.I’m 100% Swedish, shaped by an international upbringing by attending international schools in Singapore and Hong Kong. While based in Bahrain, hosting a radio show gave me a unique experience that sharpened my communication skills and global perspective.I thrive in roles that bridge technical expertise with strategic thinking, and I’m always looking ahead to what’s next for aviation - especially where innovation and sustainability intersect.Clifton Strengths Top 5: 1.
