Vmo Aircraft Leasing has appointed Marilyn Gan as Senior Vice President, Head of Asia-Pacific.
Gan will be responsible for establishing and leading Vmo’s presence in Asia Pacific. She will open the Asia office and lead the lessor’s business efforts in the region, identifying market opportunities and growing its presence.
“Marilyn’s deep knowledge and experience of the aviation industry, as well as her extensive relationships with aviation stakeholders throughout Asia Pacific, will be central to growing our platform’s APAC presence,” said Sean Sullivan, Vmo Aircraft Leasing Chief Commercial Officer.

“With an eye on Asia Pacific’s expected growth trajectory, the knowledge of local markets and an established network of relationships will be key to taking advantage of the region’s future potential. Marilyn is well positioned with the right background and transactional track record to help us achieve that,” said Robert Brown, Vmo Aircraft Leasing Chief Executive Officer.
“I’m delighted to take on this new role to be a part of Vmo’s well-regarded management team and to grow our presence in Asia Pacific. Despite the challenges in today’s market, we believe that the travel and airline sector will continue to remain core to many economies globally. I look forward to working with our many prospective airline customers to deliver effective fleet solutions in this rapidly growing region,” commented Marilyn Gan, Vmo Aircraft Leasing Senior Vice President, Head of Asia Pacific.
