Global Jet Capital appointed its new senior leadership team. Dave Labrozzi, formerly of GE, was appointed chief operating officer, with fellow GE alum Vivek Kaushal taking on the role of chief risk officer.

In addition, Lisa McCarthy joined the team as general counsel and Jim Noonan will be the senior managing director of corporate development.

“I’m both delighted to be announcing the appointment of the senior leadership team as we enter into the next phase of Global Jet Capital’s strategic growth plan,” said Shawn Vick, executive director of Global Jet Capital. “The ownership and executive committee members are confident that we have the right team in place to achieve our mission to be a leading global private aviation financing company.”

Labrozzi has over 35 years of industry experience with GE, having held roles with responsibility in sales, risk, business development and general management. He spent 22 of his years with GE dedicated to corporate aviation, with the last 15 years leading the company’s financing activity in the sector as president of GE Capital, Corporate Aircraft.

Kaushal has over 23 years of leadership experience in credit and risk management, including multiple CRO roles, spanning several GE Capital businesses and geographies. Most recently, he was the CRO of the Corporate Aviation Finance business in GE Capital, Americas, where he was responsible for the overall direction of the Corporate Aircraft Risk function, leading the underwriting, portfolio and asset management areas.

McCarthy has eight years of experience financing corporate aircraft and over 20 years of experience in lease financing transactions. She previously worked at GE Capital as well, providing legal advice on corporate aircraft matters, including lease and finance transactions secured by corporate aircraft, corporate aircraft portfolio purchases and divestitures and regulatory matters.

Noonan has over 20 years of experience in financial management, contract administration, business development and sales/business administration, with positions at Hawker Beechcraft, Standard Aero, Landmark Aviation, ONI Systems, Oracle and Citibank.

“Since launching the company our strategy has been to secure the best talent in the industry and we are very pleased to have such a wealth of experience throughout the business,” said Vick. “Our clients expect a service that is informed, authoritative and efficient and we have assembled a world class leadership team which can deliver. Furthermore, with almost half of our overall team joining from GE Capital, we are able to offer continuity and a proven track- record of success.”
