Dassault Falcon Jet chose the show to announce the appointment of Jean-Michel Jacob to vice-president international sales for the Western Hemisphere and Far East including mainland China. He takes up his position in May, bringing more than 16 years of Falcon marketing experience to the job, first as a sales manager in southern Europe and more recently as director of sales in South America.

"Jean-Michel has proven himself a very effective sales person and a good advocate for the customer in his tenure at Dassault," says Jean Rosanvallon, president and chief executive of Dassault Falcon Jet. "His vast experience with our company and the Falcon product line positions him well to help further develop our international markets."

Prior to joining Dassault in 1987, Jacob worked as a sales engineer with the helicopter division of Aerospatiale.

He succeeds Jeff Habib, who assumes a new position as vice-president western division for Dassault Falcon Jet.
