Aircraft Leasing Ireland (ALI), the group representing the aircraft leasing industry in the country, has announced the appointment of Elizabeth Bowen as its new director.
Before joining ALI, Bowen served as the public affairs lead at the Small Firms Association, where her responsibilities included managing media relations, stakeholder engagement, lobbying campaigns, strategic communications and developing the organisation’s policy positions. Since joining the Irish Business and Employers Confederation (IBEC) in 2016, she held roles such as Interim Director for the SFA and Director of Prepared Consumer Foods in Food Drink Ireland.
Citing Bowen’s “extensive experience across multiple roles and sectors,” Patricia Callan, an Ibec head of sectors and director of financial services Ireland (FSI) group, said she would “collaborate with ALI members for the continued development and success of Ireland’s aircraft leasing industry”.
“Ireland is the leading centre for aircraft leasing globally, and as a high-growth sector of international financial services representing $100 billion of assets, this is something we are very proud of,” concluded Callan.
