Skyryse welcomes Jerry Meyer as chief marketing officer


Skyryse, the creator of SkyOS, the universal operating system for flight, announced the appointment of Jerry Meyer, former CEO of ICON Aircraft, as its chief marketing officer (CMO) to lead the company’s shift towards certification, commercialization, and their second SkyOS-enabled aircraft.

In addition to being ICON’s CEO, Meyer served as VP of brand experience and corporate strategy, as well as a variety of other marketing and sales roles over his almost nine years with ICON.

Meyer’s career also includes roles in brand management at Procter & Gamble and as VP of marketing at Legal Resources, where he was instrumental in driving brand transformation and business growth through multiple new product lines.

“There are few people in this industry who have more experience in marketing and branding than Jerry Meyer,” said Dr. Mark Groden, CEO of Skyryse.

“We’re thankful to have him joining us to lead our commercial team and help bring our mission of making aviation simpler and safer to life for our customers and partners.”

As Skyryse’s CMO, Meyer will oversee the company’s marketing and sales functions to elevate the brand and expand its presence across the aviation industry as sales of its first aircraft, Skyryse One, begin to ramp up.

“It’s not often you get the chance to truly revolutionize an industry and bring such innovative products to market,” said Meyer. “I am excited for the opportunity to contribute to Skyryse’s mission and do my part to make aviation simpler and safer for everyone.”

Prior to his successful career in the business world, Meyer spent over 11 years in the U.S. Navy and U.S. Navy Reserve as a naval aviator, division leader, flight instructor, and training team lead flying the carrier-based E-2C Hawkeye and T-45 Goshawk.
