Credit Risk Analyst with over 15 years of experience managing credit exposure for major companies, specialising in aviation credit research but also with experience in other industries.
At BP plc, managed a portfolio of counterparties with secured and unsecured credit exposure related to BP's supply of jet fuel, with authority to approve up to USD$5m of unsecured exposure (per counterparty) globally.
At FALKO, managed a diverse portfolio of airlines with credit exposure in relation to over 100 aircraft leases (MABV* then at USD$1.2bn). This portfolio covered global airlines such as Delta, American, Air Canada, Aeromexico, IAG, as well as key regional carriers such as Azul, Republic, Wings, US Bangla, Jazz, Air Austral, Croatia, Airlink, and Xfly. Implemented a new rating framework, standardized internal and external credit paper documentation, and introduced new sources of credit intel, all of which were crucial in contributing to the due diligence of the second fund raise (USD$650m) and the subsequent acquisition of c. 50 aircraft from Avolon for USD$1bn in 2019.
Prior to joining BP and FALKO, held various credit and audit roles, including experience gained at Ernst & Young.
