NETJETS US VOLUME 9 2019

VINTAGE ONBOARD
To elevate the inflight experience, NetJets will begin serving Billecart-Salmon ®
Brut Reserve NV on all large cabin aircraft. Found on the best chefs’
tables and served by top luxury hotels around the world, this blend of 40%
pinot meunier, 30% pinot noir, and 30% chardonnay may also be requested
prior to flights on light and midsize cabin aircraft. NetJets—introduced to
Billecart through mutual support for (RED), a worldwide advocacy
organization working to end extreme poverty and preventable disease—
appreciates the motto of this 200-year old winery:
“To give priority to quality and strive for excellence.”
IN THE CIRCLE
Inspired by Owners’ passion for and investment in wine, the NetJets Vintner Circle program was created in 2017.
This exclusive club connects NetJets Owners who enjoy exceptional wine with a select group of 15 preferred vintners,
who are also NetJets Owners and Napa Valley residents. Membership advantages include VIP treatment and one-ofa-kind
experiences, like private tours and tastings at both world-renowned and up-and-coming vineyards.
WHEN DID YOU START AT NETJETS? Two years in November. I retired from the
FBI in October 2017 after nearly 22 years of service, most recently serving as a
special agent on behalf of the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force. I was officially retired
for a week—and started here right after that. It’s been a whirlwind ever since.

INSIDE TRACK
Jack Vanderstoep
VP, Global Security
WHAT DOES YOUR NORMAL DAY CONSISTOF? Honestly, there really is no
normal day in my world. We wrap a cloak of security around everything we do
here at NetJets, so I’m involved in a wide variety of activities. First and foremost,
we ensure global security for our Owners and crew by monitoring everywhere they
travel internationally and domestically. This ensures that the right security plans are
in place that mitigate risk. For Owner events—here and with NetJets Europe—we
perform a thorough security assessment of venues and allocate a plan accordingly.
The day of the event, we are there providing hands-on security. As of recently, I’m
also developing the new QS Security Services platform that we will roll out to our
Owners this fall. QS Security Services is a group of longtime safety experts coupled
with an extended global network, together dedicated to providing elevated security
for Owners traveling to high-risk destinations.
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE YOU FACE IN YOUR ROLE? Overall,
my biggest challenge is—and may always be—the world we live in and the
ever-changing scope of terrorism, of unrest, and anything else that can cause a
security concern for our Owners, crew, and aircraft. Our job is to stay ahead of
it by asking, “What do we need to do as a company to mitigate risk?”
