Star Jets International Founder & CEO Ricky Sitomer

Ricky Sitomer, who formerly owned a stock brokerage firm in the 90’s and used to helicopter to the Hampton's for the weekend. Ricky started looking into private jets for the top guys in the firm and discovered inefficiencies in the private jet market. He was struggling finding jets to reserve so he figured there was shortage not just for himself, but others. Listen to how he in 2001 Ricky sold his stock brokerage firm but brought a "stock brokerage business model" to the private aviation industry raising $1.6 million from family and friends and opened Blue Star Jets in 2001. Ricky sold Blue Star Jets in early 2016 & he did 800 million dollars in revenue during his 15 years of ownership. Ricky then decided to go hang out in the Hamptons. But his phone started ringing during the summer with Blue Star Jets clients, and Clark Kent decided to go back to being Superman in October of '16 launching his current six-year business Star Jets International. Earlier this week, Ricky filed an S-1 to uplist to NASDAQ within the next 45 days. OTCMKTS: JETR
