An era of female leadership
Líder Aviação, renowned in the airline sector, is celebrating its 65th anniversary with shocking news: a succession plan that marks a new era in the company. For the first time, the presidency will be held by a woman, Junia Hermont, current COO, from January 2024. Bruna Assumpção, equally notable, assumes the Executive Aviation Superintendence, bringing a new vision to the company.
The path to change
This historic move at Líder Aviação not only breaks down barriers in the predominantly male sector, but also highlights the company's commitment to diversity and equal opportunities. Currently, 40% of leadership positions on the board are held by women, a significant number that reflects the progressive change in the corporate scenario. The appointment of Junia Hermont as president is a significant step forward, promoting female involvement in senior leadership positions and inspiring women across the aviation industry and beyond.
Innovative management ahead
Junia Hermont, with her 25 years of experience at Líder Aviação, represents the ideal model of innovative and competent leadership. Its trajectory, which began in 1998, is marked by successes and significant advances in the company, including the inauguration of new bases and hangars, expansion of the aircraft fleet, as well as fundamental contributions to Líder's technological pioneering spirit. Her rise to the role of president is the culmination of an exceptional career, promising a promising future for the company.

Her rise reflects not only Líder’s legacy, but also her commitment to adapt and evolve in the dynamic aviation sector.
The Aviation Leader: a continued legacy
