“I worked with Gary for 4 years in the EMEA Corporate Aircraft Group at GE Capital. I was always struck by Gary’s deep domain experience and expertise in corporate aircraft asset management and overall technical knowledge. He fully understands what it takes to maintain the true intrinsic financial worth in an aircraft and was adept at managing and monitoring often complex maintenance and refurbishment projects on behalf of the funder to ensure the asset value is protected.”

About
I've worked in aviation finance since 2007 and have a deep understanding of the aircraft finance, technical and appraisal world. I've handled numerous aircraft transactions, sitting at the nexus of technical, appraisal, operational, financial, tax and legal expertise to drive deals to completion. I regularly contribute articles to industry press and present at conferences.

What qualities will set you apart in the future of Risk Management?
In my experience, a key ingredient of strong risk management is courage: courage to stand your ground and withstand commercial pressure to do a bad deal. Courage to accept that no deal is risk free when it comes to a thumbs up or thumbs down. Courage to learn from the inevitable wrong call. Courage to confront your own biases, to listen to different perspectives, to know when to be persuaded and when to stand firm.

How can you tackle a math-heavy case interview question?
Don’t panic. “The problem” will always seem larger and more intimidating at first, and it may not always be obvious how to get to the solution. So if you can’t immediately map out how to get from A to Z, just focus on A to B - B to C will often then become evident. Like using a torch in a darkened room, you might not see more than 1 step ahead; but if you at least take one step, you’ll see one step further than you did before.

Structuring a Deal: Aircraft Value is Fundamental
Business Aviation Advisor
Aircraft depreciate in value over time. Financiers need a worst-case scenario strategy for actually turning a highly engineered piece of metal into enough cash to cover their outstanding exposure. Understanding the tactics they employ to protect themselves is the first step towards making it work for you in structuring the best finance deal for your aircraft.

Refurbish Your Jet With Maximum Appeal - Part 2
Avbuyer
Any investment into private aircraft needs to be looked at from the point of view of slowing the aircraft’s inherent depreciation as much as possible and extracting maximum utility, rather than expecting a positive financial return. This month I speak with interior designer Celia Sawyer and Elit'avia's Iain Houseman to discover how to refurbish jets with maximum appeal.

Choosing the aircraft deal that works for you
Arc & Co
A low quoted margin does not always mean you’re getting the best deal for your needs (sometimes it does, but not always). A higher quoted monthly payment may actually represent better value. This article outlines a few things to consider when determining the optimal deal,
