MDT has enhanced its aviation team with two additional new recruits.
Richard Libby has joined MDT (effective September 1) as a consultant based in Toronto. His remit is to expand MDT's aircraft financing and leasing origination activities in the Americas.
Richard's career in the commercial aircraft industry spans 24 years, most recently with Viking Air where he was responsible for worldwide sales of the new Twin Otter Series 400 aircraft. Prior to Viking, Richard spent 22 years with Bombardier, largely in commercial roles which included more than 10 years of sales and leasing of regional aircraft in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas.
James Cossutta has also recently joined MDT. James has responsibility for the management of MDT’s aircraft lease portfolio. He has almost 20 years’ experience in the aviation industry, having held management positions in a variety of technical and customer business roles, most recently with British Airways and formerly with Rolls-Royce (Civil Aerospace division).
Paul Clark, Director of MDT and Head of Aviation said: “We are delighted to welcome two such experienced new recruits to expand our existing aviation team. Richard will add considerable marketing expertise for us while James brings both a detailed technical knowledge, especially of engines, in addition to strong portfolio management capabilities.”
