Chris Hubbard

Summary

Challenger 350 Captain and former U.S. Navy F/A-18E/F Super Hornet Pilot & Combat Flight Instructor with 4,700+ total flight hours. Proven leader with a top-tier record of safety, precision, and performance across military and Part 135/91 operations.

TOPGUN-trained and CAE-qualified in Challenger 605/650 & 300/350, holding ATP, CFI, CFII, and MEI. Known for disciplined execution, sound judgment, and mission-driven leadership with a consistent top 1% performance track record.

In addition to aviation, spent 14 years in executive consulting and sales within the biotech sector for Fortune 500 companies like Johnson & Johnson and Intuitive Surgical while raising a daughter as a single father. This experience strengthened client-facing leadership, communication under pressure, and the ability to operate with discretion and accountability among high-net-worth and high-performance professionals; directly enhancing a white-glove service approach in corporate aviation.

Seeking a long-term Part 135/91 PIC role with a stable, growth-oriented organization where I can contribute to operational excellence, mentorship, and fleet development.
