[Vancouver, Canada, 2025 August 12]

SUSTAERO is pleased to announce the appointment of Michelle Hunt as Vice President of Administration. A seasoned leader in the Canadian cleantech ecosystem, Michelle joins SUSTAERO following an eight-year tenure at Foresight Canada, the country’s largest cleantech accelerator.

The addition of Hunt to the executive team marks a significant step in SUSTAERO’s transition from technology development to large-scale industrial execution. Her deep experience in organizational scaling, stakeholder engagement, and operational management will be instrumental as the company advances its mission to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) through its proprietary platform.

"Joining SUSTAERO at this stage is an incredible opportunity," says Hunt. "After years of supporting the growth of Canada’s cleantech sector from an ecosystem perspective, I am excited to dive deep into an organization that is delivering tangible, industrial-scale solutions. SUSTAERO’s commitment to securing the future of aviation through domestic resources aligns perfectly with my passion for building a sustainable and sovereign Canadian economy."

Michelle was Director of Business Operations at Foresight Canada, playing a pivotal role in shaping the organization into a powerhouse of Canadian innovation. Her move to SUSTAERO represents a natural progression, allowing her to apply her extensive network and operational acumen to one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in the Canadian biofuels sector.

"We are thrilled to welcome Michelle Hunt to our leadership team," says Keith Gillard, CEO of SUSTAERO. "Having worked closely with her during her time at Foresight, I have seen first-hand her ability to navigate the complexities of the green economy. Her expertise in building robust administrative frameworks for high-growth ventures is exactly what SUSTAERO needs as we scale our regional production nodes."
