Podcast: YoPro Initiatives in 2021

Jan. 11, 2021

NBAA’s Young Professionals in Business Aviation (YoPro) group helps support, encourage and build relationships between our industry’s emerging leaders. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic hasn’t stopped their plans for several 2021 events to further nurture and develop the YoPro community. “I just want everyone to be encouraged and to understand how much power you have in your voice,” said Jamie Santiago Muñoz, senior product manager for aviation software at World Fuel Services. “As young professionals in this industry, we can make a difference.”

In today’s episode of NBAA’s “Flight Plan,” host Rob Finfrock speaks with three leaders on the YoPro Council:

  • Erin Groh, freelance marketing director
  • Ian Lumpp, publisher of Business Air & Aviators Hot Line
  • Jamie Santiago Muñoz, senior product manager for aviation software at World Fuel Services
