Memo Montemayor is the founder of EMCJet, a boutique aircraft brokerage and consulting firm based in Houston, Texas.
EMC Jet specialises in larger business jets like the G650 and Gulfstream models. They also sell turboprops like the King Air. Memo has expanded the company with offices in Atlanta, India, and Thailand.
Memo is very focused on building relationships and networking, sponsoring athletes and sports teams to connect with potential clients. This includes deals with Formula 1, the Houston Astros, and PGA Tour players.
Memo emphasises the importance of professionalism and ethics in the sometimes shady aircraft brokerage industry. He is involved with the industry association GLADE to promote best practices.
Despite the high-pressure nature of the business, Memo tries to maintain a work-life balance, playing golf 2-3 times per week and spending time with his family.
