APOC has appointed Kevin Wall to the new role of senior vice president, business development for the Americas.

He will be tasked with increasing market share for APOC’s leasing and asset acquisition business, alongside the trading and sale of aircraft parts, engines and landing gear from the company’s narrowbody-aligned portfolio.

Wall previously served as chief commercial officer and deputy CEO at Dublin Aerospace, and he has also held senior sales and engineering roles at Lufthansa Technik and Fokker Aircraft.

APOC’s CEO Max Lutje Wooldrik said the new role was of strategic importance in broadening the company’s global footprint. “Kevin is a highly respected member of the aviation community with a reputation for team motivation and commercial success,” he noted. “He will be located at our Miami facility in the New Year, and I know he will enjoy the challenges that this multi-faceted market will undoubtedly deliver.”

Wall commented: “APOC’s dynamic and entrepreneurial approach towards doing business is refreshing. With more than three decades of experience I can see how their attitudes towards service and real-time visibility of stock via their benchmark software applications will resonate well with airlines and lessors alike across the region.

“As the aviation industry continues to recover in the post-Covid timeframe, I anticipate that with APOC’s innovative business model and secure financial status we will be able to not only take advantage of investment opportunities in engines, landing gear and airframe assets, but also to wisely shape our support programmes as airlines evolve and explore new ways to operate.”
