Ben Murray has been named the Senior Managing Director of Asset Management for business jet financing company Global Jet Capital. In that role, Murray will be responsible for developing, implementing and managing Global Jet Capital’s asset management strategy, in particular identifying which of the company’s post-lease aircraft can be re-deployed as net earning assets.
