Jill Greer is joining Wheels Up as executive vice president of investor relations and sustainability.

Greer worked at Delta Air Lines for 21 years, retiring in 2021 as vice president of finance, investor relations, and digital transformation.

She served as senior vice president of finance at ADT from 2021 to 2023 and joins the Delta-backed private aviation flight provider from Travel + Leisure Co., where she was vice president of investor relations.

The media company is the publisher of Travel + Leisure magazine.

At Delta, she led the investor relations organization and was responsible for the company’s digital transformation efforts in finance.

Greer has experience in operational finance, corporate communications, and ESG initiatives.

In her new position, Greer will be charged with shaping the company’s “investment narrative and lead the company’s engagement with the investment community, as Wheels Up executes on its long-term strategic plan. She will also lead the development and implementation of the company’s ESG strategy in this newly created role, bringing increased focus and leadership to Wheels Up’s sustainability efforts.”

“We are excited to welcome Jill to Wheels Up at such a pivotal time for our business,” said CEO George Mattson.

He added, “I had the opportunity to work closely with Jill over the course of my time on the Delta Air Lines board, and I know that her exceptional leadership in finance and sustainability, along with her ability to drive impactful investor relations, will be invaluable as we elevate our investor engagement and communications and deepen our commitment to responsible aviation.”

Mattson was a board member of Delta before moving to the corner office at Wheels Up in 2023.

Wheels Up finances

Last year, Delta led a $500 million investment package that gave it and co-investors 95% of the shares.

Last week, Wheels Up closed on $332 million in financing from Bank of America.

The private flight provider is forecasting positive Adjusted EBITDA for FY 2025.

Wheels Up continues to trade on the NYSE under UP.

Greer will start her new role in January.
