SAN FRANCISCO – March 8, 2022 – For 50 years, Aviation Personnel International (API) has served as the woman-owned business aviation recruiting firm in the U.S. To kick off Women’s History Month, API’s President and CEO Sheryl Barden announces that the talent management and consulting firm is now certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) and a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) through the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).
“At API, we’ve always prided ourselves on being a women-owned small business—long before there were certifications that designated us as such,” explained Sheryl Barden, CAM, the President and CEO of Aviation Personnel International. “That said, we understand that our clients—corporations and high-net-worth aircraft owners—very much value diversity in their supply chain, and we are proud to serve as a fantastic source for their aviation recruiting needs.”
Based in San Francisco, with regional offices in Minnesota and Arizona, the API team combines its extensive aviation knowledge with its expertise in human resources and executive aviation recruitment, with the goal of providing talent identification and placements, compensation and HR consulting as well as outplacement services for flight departments with one or more aircraft.
