Aergo Capital has appointed Paul Sheridan as Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective June 2, 2026, signalling a major leadership change for the global aircraft lessor and servicer. He will be based at the company’s Dublin headquarters and succeeds Eugene O’Reilly, who has held the position on an interim basis since January 2026.
Sheridan brings more than 25 years of experience across aviation and finance, with a career spanning leasing, asset management, banking, consultancy and airline operations. His professional background reflects a broad and technically diverse skill set, developed across major aviation hubs including Dublin, London and Hong Kong. He began his career with Aer Lingus before moving into banking and leasing, where he gained expertise in areas such as debt syndication, aircraft trading, structured finance and advisory services.
In more recent roles, Sheridan has held senior leadership positions with a strong focus on aviation finance. He most recently led PwC Ireland’s aviation finance advisory practice, where he advised on complex transactions and strategic initiatives across the sector. Prior to that, he served as Chief Executive Officer and director of AMCK Aviation, further strengthening his credentials in aircraft leasing and asset management.
Aergo’s ownership by funds managed by AB CarVal underscores its position within the global leasing market, and Sheridan’s appointment is seen as a strategic move to support the company’s next phase of growth. His international experience and cross-functional expertise are expected to complement the existing leadership team and enhance Aergo’s ability to scale its operations and investment activities.
