Jackson Square Aviation (JSA) is pleased to announce the appointment of David Jones as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), effective October 2025. David will report to JSA’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Kevin McDonald, and will be based in the Company’s San Francisco office.

Following a comprehensive global search, JSA is proud to elevate one of its own to this key leadership position. David has played a pivotal role in the growth and success of JSA’s Asia operations, demonstrating a strong commitment to team development, customer engagement, and strategic execution. His leadership has helped deliver exceptional results and foster enduring relationships with many of JSA’s valued airline partners.

Currently based in Singapore, David joined JSA in 2019 and has held the position of Senior Vice President and Head of Marketing, Asia Pacific since 2022.

In his new role, David will oversee JSA’s global team of Marketing professionals. He will be instrumental in shaping the Company’s market presence, expanding its customer base, and strengthening its partnerships across the aviation ecosystem.

“David’s appointment reflects our commitment to recognizing and nurturing talent from within,” remarked Kevin McDonald, CEO of JSA. “His deep understanding of our business, collaborative leadership style, and customer-first mindset make him ideally suited to lead our global marketing efforts as we continue to grow and evolve.”

David’s transition to the CMO role will coincide with the planned departure of Chris Dailey, President & Chief Commercial Officer, at the end of the year. This thoughtful overlap will support a seamless leadership transition and ensure continuity as JSA advances its global marketing strategy.

This appointment marks a pivotal moment in JSA’s evolution. As we continue to strengthen our global presence and deepen our customer partnerships, David’s leadership will play a key role in shaping how we communicate our value, vision, and commitment to sustainable growth across the aviation industry.
