LONG BEACH, Calif., Feb. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — JetZero announces the appointment of Scott Henry to the position of Chief Corporate Officer, effective immediately. In this role, Mr. Henry will be responsible for oversight of the functions that will enable JetZero to scale to meet the company’s accelerating growth.
Mr. Henry is a global C-suite leader who operates at the intersection of strategy, capital, and enterprise execution. Over more than 30 years, he has helped scale and transform complex, high-growth companies. His leadership experience spans technology platforms, defense and autonomous systems, consumer electronics, gaming, media, and global hospitality. He is particularly experienced in guiding companies through major inflection points, including rapid scale-up, international expansion, complex capital raises, public market readiness, strategic transactions, and operational transformation.
“Scaling our company for the future is our biggest opportunity right now, and I can’t think of a better leader to join our mission to reshape aviation than Scott,” said Tom O’Leary, CEO and co-founder. “Scott joins the company as we advance in partnership with Northrop Grumman towards the first flight of our full-scale demonstrator of the next generation tanker for the U.S. Air Force next year and prepare for the groundbreaking of our North Carolina production facility.”

Across these environments, he has built enterprise infrastructure from the ground up, aligned strategy with capital and operating discipline, and partnered closely with founders, CEOs, and boards to translate vision into scalable execution.
Earlier in his career, he spent nearly 18 years in investment banking, at firms including Salomon Brothers, Prudential Securities, ING Barings and ABN Amro, advising companies globally on capital raising and strategic transactions — experience that continues to inform his enterprise-level perspective today.
