John is an aviation finance and asset management professional with deep experience in freighter aircraft portfolios, engine-driven cash flows, and complex capital structures. He has supported large portfolio transactions, structured financings, and lifecycle asset management initiatives, with a consistent focus on maintenance economics and long-term investor outcomes.
He was a key contributor to the sale of a sizable leased freighter portfolio, providing engine and maintenance cash-flow analysis, valuation support, and transaction execution during a period of significant market disruption.
