Aircraft Engine Lease Finance (AELF) has added Todd Freeman and Madhu Vijay to its board of directors, and the promotion of Joe Cirillo to president, adding to his role as chief commercial officer.
The lessor said the moves come as it continues to grow its fleet and add key staff positions.
Freeman brings over 35 years of global commercial aviation industry experience to the AELF baord. He spent most of his career in various commercial leadership roles with GECAS in the US, Europe, Middle East and Asia, with additional work experience at Airbus, Polaris Aircraft Leasing and Nordic Aviation Capital.
Vijay has over 25 years of experience in corporate finance, with Freddie Mac, Pacific Life and Aviation Capital Group (ACG).
"Todd and Madhu each bring extensive industry experience, unique perspectives and expertise to AELF as it continues to expand its fleet and footprint in the industry,” said AELF board member Phil Scruggs.
Joe Cirillo has 20 years of experience in the aircraft leasing industry. Joe has held leadership positions with AELF since its inception, previously holding the position of chief operating officer and various commercial roles.
“Promoting Joe to president is a very congruent step for the company and we look forward to continued success with him in this role," said AELF board member Victoria Ricks.
