Regional aircraft lessor TrueNoord has appointed aviation finance expert Florian van Vugt in the new role of corporate finance manager. He will be based at the company's office in Amsterdam.
He will manage debt structuring and refinancing as well as drive strategic initiatives to diversify the lessor's funding base. Van Vugt will support the development of the company's long-term relationships with financing providers including banks, institutional and capital market investors, and rating agencies.
“TrueNoord made a strong impression on me as a dynamic and progressive business," Van Vugt said. “Its fleet of turboprops and regional jets are essential for maintaining connectivity on thinner routes to remote communities or in challenging geographies.”
He has previous experience working in both aviation finance and strategy consulting in Europe and Asia.
