Vx Capital Partners announced the appointment of Sean Sullivan as its Chief Financial Officer. Sullivan, previously Head of Americas at AerCap, will oversee finance, accounting and acquisitions. He will lead Vx’s efforts to raise private-equity funds and expand its current focus on sale and leasebacks. Sullivan previously held senior positions at International Lease Finance Corporation, Allco Finance Group and Bank of America Leasing and Capital.

“We are glad to have a leader of Sean’s experience and stature to join our senior management team as we pursue a new era of growth and development,” Vx CEO Robert Brown said.

Sullivan said, “I am truly excited to be joining Vx at this time. Vx has an impressive 20-year track record of investing through the down cycles and this is a unique opportunity to contribute to this growing platform.”

Vx was represented by Tim McNamara of the executive search firm Odgers Berndston.

Founded by industry veterans in 2002, Vx’s approach to equipment leasing combines deep aviation experience with unique financial insight. Together with its partners, they have invested approximately $1.5 billion in more than 150 commercial aircraft.
