AerFin Announces Leadership Changes as Business Continues to Grow

AerFin is pleased to announce the appointment of Steven Ades as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective immediately. Steven, who has been an integral part of AerFin’s journey since its inception in 2010, will take on an expanded remit, continuing to oversee Strategy and Supply Chain alongside his CFO responsibilities.

This transition follows Matthew Clay’s decision to step down as CFO, with his departure from the business confirmed for March 31, 2025. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Matt for his dedication and leadership over the past nine years. He has significantly contributed to AerFin’s growth, and we wish him and his family all the best for the future.

Steven’s appointment strengthens our financial leadership as we continue to scale. His deep expertise, having served as Finance Director until 2022 before moving to Chief Strategy Officer, guarantees continuity and a strategic approach to AerFin’s next phase of growth.

In support of the Finance team, Brendan O’Neill has joined as Interim Financial Controller (FC), providing essential day-to-day operational leadership while supporting the search for a permanent FC.

Additionally, the Marketing team will now report to James Bennett, Chief Commercial Officer, reinforcing the alignment between Sales & Marketing to better serve our customers and stakeholders, helping them see the way ahead.

These structural refinements reflect our ongoing commitment to enhancing cross-functional collaboration and positioning AerFin for long-term success.
