Clare has been president of Jet Aviation since July 2011, responsible for oversight of the company's business aviation services operations worldwide. Clare joined Jet Aviation from Gulfstream. He succeeds Jason W. Aiken, who has been named senior vice president and CFO for General Dynamics.
In announcing the appointments Lombardo said, "Rob Smith has been an instrumental part of the management team at Jet Aviation since his arrival and I am confident that, under his leadership, the company will continue to differentiate itself through the quality of the products and services it delivers to customers."
"Dan Clare has demonstrated his commitment to the success of General Dynamics' aerospace companies over time, and we look forward to continuing to benefit from his experience in his new role at Gulfstream," Lombardo said.
