Aergo Capital appoints Paul Sheridan as chief executive with effect from June 2026

Dublin-headquartered aircraft leasing and asset management company Aergo Capital has appointed Paul Sheridan as chief executive, with Sheridan set to take up the position on 2 June 2026.

According to Aviation Business News, Sheridan succeeds Eugene O'Reilly, who has served in the role on an acting basis since January 2026. He will be based at Aergo Capital's global headquarters in Dublin.

Sheridan brings more than 25 years of aviation and finance experience spanning leasing, asset management, banking, consultancy and airline operations across Dublin, London and Hong Kong. He began his career at Aer Lingus before moving into banking and leasing, where he worked across debt syndication, aircraft trading, structured finance and advisory services. Most recently, he led PwC Ireland's aviation finance advisory practice, having previously served as chief executive and director of AMCK Aviation.

Sheridan said he was honoured to lead Aergo Capital at an exciting time for the business. "The company has long been recognised as a premier global aviation leasing platform, and I look forward to working with the rest of the leadership team to continue creating lasting value for our customers and investors," he said.

Greg Belonogoff, principal for aviation leasing at AB CarVal which owns Aergo Capital said Sheridan's deep expertise in aviation finance and proven leadership across multiple jurisdictions positioned him well to drive the company's continued growth.

Aergo Capital manages a diversified portfolio of commercial aircraft and provides leasing and asset management solutions to airlines globally. Ireland remains the world's dominant aircraft leasing hub, accounting for approximately 60% of all leased commercial aircraft worldwide.
