Lisa McCarthy joined Voyager Aviation Holdings, a privately-held aviation investment firm and commercial aircraft leasing company based in Ireland, as its general counsel.

McCarthy has 15 years of legal counsel experience in aviation financing and leasing. Most recently, McCarthy was with the law firm of Hunton Andrews Kurth in New York, where she focused on aircraft finance matters. Prior to this role, she served as the general counsel of Global Jet Capital, where she focused on international aircraft leasing transactions. At the start of her aviation career, McCarthy was the senior counsel for the corporate aircraft division at GE Capital, where she primarily concentrated on domestic aircraft financing.

“Over the past year, VAH has strengthened its balance sheet and financial position. We also continue to not only strengthen our existing customer partnerships, but are expanding our global customer footprint,” Mike Lungariello, president and CEO of Voyager Aviation Holdings, said. “Ms. McCarthy’s legal counsel experience in global aviation finance and leasing transactions will be invaluable, as it will further help us to manage and facilitate this new stage of growth as we strengthen and add to our global customer base. We couldn’t be more pleased with her background and experience.”

“I am very excited about the opportunity to join VAH,” McCarthy said. “I look forward to tapping into my specialized legal counsel experience in global aviation financing and leasing transactions to help facilitate this growth and help VAH support both existing and new customer partnerships.”
