Ontic announces Jean-Christophe Gallagher as new CEO to support next phase of growth

Gallagher joins Ontic following a 20-year career at Bombardier, most recently serving as Executive Vice President of Aircraft Sales and Defense. He is widely recognised for delivering commercial success, leading large-scale organisational growth, and building strong, collaborative cultures.

"What stood out most about JC was his alignment with Ontic's strategy, values and long-term ambition," said Hall. "He brings enormous energy, global perspective, and a clear passion for this industry. He will be a strong champion for our customers, partners, and people."

Ontic will continue to execute its long-term strategy - focused on supporting customers and OEM partners through engineering expertise, operational excellence, and global scale.

Gallagher commented: "Ontic plays a vital role in keeping aircraft flying for generations, and I'm honoured to join a team so deeply committed to that mission. The company's purpose - supporting a lifetime of flight - resonates strongly with me, and I'm excited to build on the exceptional momentum Gareth and the team have created. Together, we'll continue to scale globally, deepen our partnerships, and deliver the long-term value our customers rely on every day."

The transition process will take place progressively over the coming months, with Gareth Hall and Gallagher working closely together to ensure continued momentum across the business and ongoing support for Ontic's customers and partners - with a continual focus on providing availability and longevity to customer's fleets.

Gareth Hall concludes: "I'm incredibly proud of what we've built together so far - and even more excited about what comes next."
