JetLease, the world's premier aviation sales, leasing and finance company, is pleased to announce Tad DeOrio has joined the company as president of JetLease Capital. A proven leader, DeOrio, brings to JetLease extensive experience in the insurance, accounting and finance sector.

"As brokers, we succeed when we create partnerships between jet owners, banks, borrowers and lessees," said DeOrio. "We need to create solutions that work for the banks and other funders as well as the aircraft owners; it's about our expertise and credibility."

“I cannot think of a better person for this position. Tad comes from the same background as I do where integrity, honesty and ethics are extremely important values to have. In these days it is becoming harder and harder to find these qualities in people. The other great thing is that I can finally get payback from our old pond hockey days!”

Prior to joining JetLease Capital, DeOrio a former CPA, has had extensive involvement in the insurance and finance industry, most recently as president of Avant Brokerage and prior to that, chief financial officer/president of TIMM Communications, where he launched a private intranet network for the trucking industry.

Growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, DeOrio and Dise lived in the same neighbourhood. Little did they know that 50 years later they would be working together. DeOrio, who holds a Master of Business Administration from DePaul University, as well as a Bachelor of Business Administration from Notre Dame. calls himself an “avid, bad golfer and a mediocre guitar player.”
