ISTAT Jetrader - Summer 2022 - 31

Participant Takeaways
What did you enjoy the most
about the D&I Breakfast?
" The ISTAT D&I Breakfast
offered a unique opportunity
to spend time really getting
to know people that I
otherwise may not have met.
It was a conversation about
people, diverse backgrounds and
what is important to each of us. I
was fascinated by just how different
everyone's journey was to arrive at that same
table at ISTAT Americas. " -Craig Segor,
Chief Investment Officer, CDB Aviation
" I wasn't quite sure what to expect from the D&I session,
but I thought it was very worthwhile and enjoyable. The
name exercise was so simple, but it uncovered all sorts of
interesting insights, far beyond the typical cursory selfintroduction
process that we have all done so many times.
There were definitely a few cultural insights shared over that
course of our session. " -Todd Freeman, Advisor, BOD,
Nordic Aviation Capital
" The D&I Breakfast afforded me the opportunity to meet
and interact with individuals of diverse backgrounds with
whom I would not typically interface with at ISTAT. "
-Steve Rossum, Silver Airways
What was your biggest takeaway from the discussion?
" Our industry is very diverse in many aspects, less so in
others. The consensus at our table was that ISTAT does a
very good job making people feel welcomed and part of an
important community. Having said that, there remain some
improvement opportunities, and this breakfast session was
a small but meaningful step in helping us appreciate the
importance and benefits of D&I. " -Todd Freeman, Advisor,
BOD, Nordic Aviation Capital
" The biggest takeaway for me is to dig deeper into
diversity and inclusion at Silver Airways - to examine
how we hire and promote, how we evaluate our team
members, and to see whether we are providing avenues and
opportunities for all of our employees to reach their fullest
potential. " -Steve Rossum, Silver Airways
" Our industry attracts an incredibly diverse group of
interesting and talented people. We need to understand,
appreciate, and embrace this diversity, and ensure the
opportunities are there now and into the future for anyone
with a passion for aviation to succeed and thrive. " -Craig
Segor, Chief Investment Officer, CDB Aviation
