Justin C. Wilcox, Executive Officer

After graduating from Colby College in Maine, Justin embarked on a career in the advertising industry. His current role is as an Activation Associate in the Investment Division of The Interpublic Group of Companies. Each day, Justin expertly navigates the intricate world of media buying and financial accounting by orchestrating financial audits that ensure entertainment networks meet his client’s strict airing guidelines for television and radio advertisements. His remarkable aptitude in the media sphere is mirrored only by his prowess in the sky as an experienced pilot who took to the skies at the young age of 15.

Justin's journey into aviation was catalyzed by a generous full scholarship provided by Edmund Burke Ross to St. Paul's School, a renowned boarding school nestled in the heart of New Hampshire. This scholarship covered Justin's tuition and granted him a stipend that financed his flight training, thereby sowing the seeds of a lifelong love affair with the skies. The golden opportunity given by this scholarship allowed him to explore the boundless potential that aviation held, igniting a flame of inspiration that would guide his future endeavors.

Now at the helm of Mach One Scholarships as the CEO, Justin embodies the essence of benevolent leadership, fostering opportunities for aspiring aviators to spread their wings and soar to new heights. Drawing from his own transformative experiences as a person of color, he aspires to open the gates of aviation to marginalized individuals who dream of conquering the skies, just as he once did.

Justin imbues his role as CEO with firsthand knowledge and an authentic passion for the aviation industry. His vision is evident in helping the next generation of female aerospace professionals.
