JetLease has appointed Tad DeOrio as president of JetLease Capital. DeOrio brings extensive experience in the insurance, accounting and finance sector. “As brokers, we succeed when we create partnerships between jet owners, banks, borrowers and lessees,” says 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.”

Prior to joining JetLease Capital, DeOrio 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.

JetLease Capital facilitates aviation financing, using both its own funding capabilities and a network of banks, leasing companies and private equity to place prospective owners and buyers with the right lender.
