Breeze Airways, the premium leisure carrier offering affordable nonstop service across the U.S., today announced it has appointed Jeff Weber as its Chief People Officer beginning March 24, 2025.
In his new role, Jeff will apply his experience in data- and technology-oriented companies to build scalable and real-time career growth and talent development programs that foster an engaging and dynamic culture that supports Breeze’s nearly 2,200 Team Members as well as the broader Guest experience.
“Jeff has played a major role in talent acquisition and development in Utah, and we are thrilled that he is joining the Breeze team,” said David Neeleman, Breeze Airways’ founder and CEO. “His background and experience will be invaluable as we continue to grow and bring our service to more underserved communities around the country.”
With over 30 years of experience in human resources, Weber joins Breeze with an extensive background in implementing high-touch acquisition, engagement, development, and recognition programs during previous roles at well-known tech companies like Instructure and Ancestry.com. His passion for breaking through barriers makes him a perfect fit for Breeze’s fast-paced, disruptive business.
“Breeze is changing the way people fly and I’m drawn to its strong, technology- and Guest-oriented approach,” said Weber. “I am committed to a culture where Team Members feel engaged in doing meaningful work and look forward to building on the Seriously Nice™ culture that has already been established as Breeze continues to grow across the country, and soon beyond.”
Weber graduated with an MBA emphasizing Organizational Behavior from Brigham Young University and has since volunteered his knowledge and talent as a Board Member of the Women’s Leadership Institute, Co-chair of the HR Executive Committee for the Utah Technology Council, Board Member of the University of Utah HR Executive Roundtable, and more. Outside of work, he loves to travel and enjoy the outdoors with his family by spending time doing outdoor sports, including mountain biking, dirt biking, snow biking, trail running, and skiing.
