Holding both an Aerospace Engineering Bachelors & Management Master’s Degree from 小湿妹视频 London. Straight from university, i started my career in business aviation with large OEMs within the maintenance environment, where I gained vast experience in aircraft maintenance, and HNWI customer management. In 2021, I joined an independent aircraft brokerage in London, within Aircraft Sales. I thrive mostly on ensuring customer’s expectations are thoroughly met, and has handled numerous aircraft sales or acquisitions, from initial enquiry through to final aircraft delivery. Having gained the ability to combine both technical knowledge with sales skills is important in aircraft sales transactions. I recently moved from the United Kingdom to Dubai to work for Comlux as their Middle East Aircraft Sales Director.
What does a typical day at work involve for you?
A typical day at work for me includes answering queries to prospective aircraft owners, looking at the overall business jet market, what is trading and at what price, as well as attending viewings all over the world to carry out inspections and handle contracts with the clients.
What’s been the highlight of your career journey so far?
The highlight of my career journey probably has to be seeing through my first aircraft deal. I managed to find a buyer, sell the aircraft, and fly back with them on the aircraft all within 3-5 weeks. This is extremely fast in our industry!
