About Us | Office Staff
 | Our Dave is a jack of all trades, it seems. Apart from flying balloons, his affable nature helps him juggle management duties with international sales trips, fatherhood and early morning starts. He is 'the man' for all things culinary: his curry recipes are nearing legendary status and his addiction to Malaysian fried rice is a bit worrisome. | |
 | Despina is the one with the largest number of aliases... Despina, Christina, & counting... thanks to the ownership of a unique name. In keeping with the fountain of names bestowed on her, she blesses us in the office with made-up words of her own, like 'presentationalist'. Her other talents include overseas travel for work (tough job!) and pilot of our office systems. | |

Kiff is our intrepid leader, owner of the business and chief pilot. Being the only vegetarian amongst us, he graciously indulges our meat preferences at working dinners, and is very gentle with cows that graze the paddocks we land in. His decisive leadership and forward thinking drive the business and set the benchmark for the rest of us...except for that vegetarian thing. | |
 | Chantal is our youthful supervisor and controls the office flock with a sense of calmness like a balloon flight over Melbourne. Chanti-town has been with Global for a number of years, fresh from her tourism courses and brings enthusiasm, positive energy and a love to chocolate to the office. She's more than happy to wake before dawn to ensure your flight runs smoothly! | |
 | Elise is the newest member of the office team and brings youth and pop culture to the office! Her love of skinny mochas in winter and frozen coke in summer is infectious to us all. Elise has an ability to adapt and learn so quickly, her dedication to taking care of customers has her rising quickly in the ranks of Global. | |
 | John - from ground crewing to office duties, John certainly dips his toe in all areas of Global Ballooning! He is fond of sharing lame jokes and spreading his artistic flair within the office. With his love of ballooning and can-do attitude, you can be rest assured you are in good hands with Johnny! | |
| Katerina is our Euro star who enjoys a friendly chat with passengers making their bookings. With a love for all things French, an accent that gets mistaken for Irish, and being fluent in Czech, Katka certainly brings a lot of culture to our office! | ||
