GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS), the commercial aircraft financing and leasing arm of GE, has appointed Sharon Green as chief operating officer for GECAS Asset Management Services (AMS), its aircraft spare-parts business, headquartered in Memphis.

Green has more than 30 years of experience in finance, risk and management. She joined The Memphis Group in 1992 as chief financial officer. In 2006, when GECAS acquired The Memphis Group, she served as the integration leader. She has served as interim chief operating officer since December 2014 following the retirement of Cathy Williams.

“Taking on leadership of AMS at this time is exciting as we recently expanded our inventory and added experienced professionals to our locations outside the U.S. This will enable us to better serve our customers as well as position us for growth in these important markets — Africa, Asia and Europe,” said Green.
