Andrew Gutterman, Principal of Response Aviation Search
Background

The people behind the mission.

New York City

Drawing on experience serving in some of the U.S. Army’s most elite and high-tempo operational units, Andrew learned firsthand that mission success depends on the quality of the people entrusted to execute it. Operating where trust, competence, and accountability were essential reinforced a fundamental belief: exceptional teams are built by identifying, developing, and retaining exceptional individuals.

Today, Andrew advises family offices, private aircraft owners, and corporate flight departments on aviation leadership, organizational structure, staffing strategy, compensation, and long-term continuity planning. He helps clients make informed decisions that align aviation operations with broader objectives, strengthen retention, and mitigate organizational risk.
