Deucalion Aviation has made a series of appointments and office expansions, as the company positions for its next phase of growth.
The firm has opened a new office in New York City, led by Nathan Riggs, chief commercial officer, David Sims, head of investments, and Diarmuid Hogan, chief financial officer.
They are joined by Jack Conroy, Ben Boudreaux, and Dylan O'Toole, strengthening Deucalion’s commercial execution capabilities in North America.
"We're excited to continue to add high-caliber, energised professionals with deep sector experience and technical rigor and build upon our longstanding aviation know-how," said John Morabito, non-executive chairman of Deucalion. "We are deeply appreciative of the significant contributions made by Les and Toby to Deucalion's technical and asset servicing platform, as we deepen our strategic capabilities and position our business for its next chapter of growth."
In London, Deucalion appointed Karl Trowbridge as chief operating officer, bringing over 40 years of experience in mature asset investing and management. In Dublin, Ross Nicholas joins as senior vice president, focusing on sourcing and trading, following prior roles at SMBC Aviation Capital and CDB Aviation.
In the Asia-Pacific region, Frank Meijer has been tapped to support sourcing and asset management efforts, adding over three decades of industry experience, most recently at Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
The company is also seeking a successor to chief technical officer Les Walsh, who is stepping down. Meanwhile, Rick Boyes, formerly with Virgin Atlantic, has been named head of asset management, succeeding Toby Iles, who will remain as a consultant through year-end.
