The Dispatch reports:
NetJets will move its corporate headquarters from New Jersey to Columbus in the wake of the departure last week of longtime CEO Richard Santulli, a spokeswoman confirmed today. Meanwhile, Dan Rosenthal, the highest-ranking executive in the Columbus office of NetJets, has left the company.Santulli resigned suddenly last week and was replaced on an interim basis by David Sokol, CEO of Iowa-based utility MidAmerican Energy Holdings Co. Both NetJets and MidAmerican Energy are owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, and Sokol is considered a leading candidate to replace Buffett as head of Berkshire.
Sokol quickly named Ben Murray, who has been CEO of sister company Executive Jet in Cincinnati, as chief operating officer of NetJets. Murray is now working out of NetJets' offices near Port Columbus. Workers who previously reported to Santulli now report to Murray.
