Joe Singh , European and Mid East Sales Representative
Although Joe comes from varied experiences outside of aviation, he brings a burning desire to succeed in a new industry. To gain entry into the exciting world of aviation, Joe saw the need for a good charter broker and potential for a successful business in the United Kingdom. Armed with research and motivation, Joe was able to convince the CEO of Bluestar Jets to start an office there. With his management skill and hard work Joe was able to quickly build up a solid team of professionals making Bluestar a very recognizable aviation name inthe UK. Given the nature of the Bluestar charter broker business Joe was expected to forge close relationships with international business leaders, high net worth individuals and large corporations. With his dealings with clients at the highest levels during his tenure at Bluestar, on many occaisions he was asked to help procure aircraft on their behalf. In doing so he introduced him self to Ron at Axiom, looking for assistance and advice, and building a good rapport. Joe realized then that his future lay more in aircraft brokerage and consulting, joining Axiom in late 2008. He has opened many doors internationally, bringing several long range promising projects to Axiom. He continues to provide sales and lead development services, concentrating his efforts in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Far East, and works closely with Sita Wissenbach in the Indian areas. In his short time in aviation Joe has become highly respected amonst his peers.
