Former Sr. Vice President, Aircraft Leasing / Marketing at FTAI Aviation

The expert is a former Senior Vice President of Leasing at FTAI Aviation, where he led the full-aircraft and engine leasing business end-to-end—from origination through end-of-life. He managed a dedicated engine team, negotiated lease extensions and remarketing, and directed maintenance pathways (MRO or module-factory rebuilds in Montreal) alongside USM part-out decisions. He also coordinated customer-specific engine configurations, bundled optional MRO services to expand wallet share, and worked at the intersection of leasing, the module factory, USM, and PMA—overseeing engine transfers across units.
