CDB Aviation, a wholly owned Irish subsidiary of China Development Bank Financial Leasing, announced a new executive addition to its Dublin-based leadership team with the appointment of Brendan O'Neill as chief financial officer.
O'Neill has two decades of aircraft leasing and multinational experience, bringing a unique blend of cross-functional experience, combining financial, operational, and functional leadership.
“We are very fortunate to have found such a strong executive for our CFO role,” said CDB Aviation chief executive Patrick Hannigan. “He possesses deep strategic and financial acumen, and the breadth of knowledge and experience in aviation finance that will be a valuable asset to our company, particularly at a time when we are focused on navigating our path through the current challenging environment and positioning for the next phase.”
O'Neill joins CDB Aviation from DAE Capital, where he spent eleven years, including as part of AWAS, most recently holding the position of senior vice president, Financial Reporting, Planning & Analysis.
