Pilot & CEO Nick Tarascio’s path to success using his ‘pilot mindset’ to grow his private charter flight company
from Bucket List Careers · host Bleav Podcast Network
Are leaders born or are they made? Pilot and entrepreneur Nick Tarascio never thought he was CEO material but he’s also never been one to run from a challenge. Originally a musician and songwriter, Nick pivoted to become CEO of the successful private charter flight company Ventura Air Services in Farmingdale, NY in 2007. And in the pandemic, his fearless leadership style allowed Ventura Air to soar despite an unprecedented drop in travel. While his business declined when Covid-19 first hit, Tarascio turned it around rapidly, investing in growth by doubling their fleet. The company also grew by partnering with New York-area hospitals to provide dozens of life-saving organ transplant flights each month.
