Samuel Hill Held Positions With Embraer, HondaJet, Consulting
Firms
Samuel Hill, former U.S. Embraer President and Vice Chairman and
recent Honda Jet Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, has
joined the Strategic Advisory Council for Bye Aerospace, Inc.
Hill (pictured) retired from Honda
Aircraft Company in December where he was Senior Vice President
Sales and Marketing. For most of his aviation career he held
leadership posts at Embraer, including President and Vice Chairman
of Embraer Aircraft Company (USA). Before joining Embraer he
was Director of Aviation of the Miami-based investment firm Brooke
Group, Ltd., as well as President of MilBrooke Helicopter
Ltd. At the Brooke Group, he was responsible for evaluating
aviation industry investments. Before joining the Brooke Group in
1988, Hill served as General Manager of Aircraft and Flight
Services for Piedmont Aviation Inc. Earlier, he was Director of
Flight Operations for AVX Corp., and chief pilot for Allied Mills
Inc., a Continental Grain Co.
Hill is an ATP-rated pilot with over 15,000 flight hours and is
type certified in a number of business jets. His pilot and
industry experience will be valuable at Bye Aerospace where he is
advising on advanced programs. Hill has been interested in
cutting edge technology and believes that to succeed, aviation
needs to innovate. “With the current and planned
developments underway, particularly the solar electric hybrid
‘Silent Guardian’ UAV, Bye Aerospace is fundamentally
changing the paradigm of cost effective performance,” he
said.
“It is an honor to welcome Sam to our Strategic Advisory
Council,” said George Bye, CEO of Bye Aerospace. “His
leadership and depth of knowledge of the aviation industry, plus
his hands-on experience as an aviator, will be a valuable
contribution to our civil and defense efforts.”
