TrueNoord, the specialist regional aircraft leasing company, has appointed experienced aviation finance professional, Sean O'Riordan, to the newly created role of Strategic Planning & Analysis (SP&A) Manager.
O'Riordan, who will be based in TrueNoord's Dublin office, joins the company with over a decade of experience in aircraft leasing and finance, underpinned by a strong background in commercial planning and analysis. He commented, “My previous roles at SMBC Aviation Capital and Goshawk allowed me to develop deep expertise in financial modelling, deal structuring, and transaction analysis, through working on key restructurings, lease transitions, and portfolio acquisitions. I bring a highly analytical approach to commercial forecasting and strategic planning, and am excited to apply these skills in support of TrueNoord's operations and growth objectives.”
In his new role, O'Riordan will be responsible for providing financial forecasting models and delivering critical business insights to support commercial policies and strategic decision-making. He will also collaborate closely with TrueNoord's shareholder, Freshstream, on financial strategy and equity initiatives, ensuring the lessor remains well-positioned for future growth.
Paul Murphy, TrueNoord CFO, added, “TrueNoord has a dynamic culture, strong upwards trajectory, and ambitious vision for growth in the regional aircraft leasing sector. Our successful bond issuance and commitment to expanding our global presence reflect the Company's long-term investment approach. We are proud to attract and retain the very best people in the industry and, having worked with Sean previously, I know from first-hand experience that he will be a great addition to the team.”
