BeauTech has appointed Lee Whitehurst as vice president of acquisitions and trading. Whitehurst joins the company from GE Aerospace, where he most recently served as commercial director leading the global trading and leasing team.
The move bolsters BeauTech’s leadership in aircraft trading and acquisition activities. Whitehurst’s background at GE Aerospace involved overseeing international operations in engine and aircraft leasing markets.
Earlier industry records from 2022 noted Whitehurst’s association with Jet Midwest, where listings appeared for engines such as the GE90-115B available for sale or lease. That period also saw other personnel changes at BeauTech, including the appointment of Dr. Philip Hix-Coquet as vice president of legal affairs at BeauTech Power Systems.
BeauTech operates in the aerospace sector, focusing on power systems and related trading functions. Whitehurst’s expertise aligns with ongoing demands in the aftermarket for engines and components.
