Todd is a mechanical engineer and lawyer and also holds an MBA degree; a unique and empowering combination in the aviation industry. He began his career as a legal intern at Rolls-Royce in Indianapolis, IN before taking a global, rotational position with the company. Todd worked in Customer Business – Defense, Civil Large Engines, and Mergers & Acquisitions within Rolls-Royce, both in the U.S. and the U.K..

After leaving Rolls-Royce, Todd joined Aviation Capital Group (ACG), a top-tier lessor based in California. At ACG, he focused primarily on contract negotiations, aircraft purchase and sale agreements, and finding solutions to working with troubled lessees. In 2014, Todd left ACG to co-found a consulting entity where he successfully worked with a global client base until January 2020. 

In 2020, Todd co-founded V2 Aviation to serve a global aviation client base. V2 Aviation was founded upon the principles of trust, character, and resolve.  

Todd lives in the mountains of Southern California where he enjoys the outdoors in his spare time: cutting firewood, walking his three dogs, hunting, and working on tractors.

John joined Rolls-Royce at the age of 17 as an engineering apprentice and, after qualifying and spending a number of years in an engineering role, moved to a customer facing role as a support engineer. He then moved into customer services management for some of Rolls-Royce’s most prestigious customers including Singapore Airlines. He relocated to Taiwan for 3.5 years to serve as country manager, then returned to the UK as sales director covering Singapore Airlines. These years were followed by a move to the U.S. as Vice President Customer Business with oversight of the American Airlines account.

John returned to the UK in 2010 as VP Customer Business for SE Asia. Before leaving Rolls-Royce at the end of 2016, John was Deputy SVP for the Americas as well as leading the Americas Sales Team.

John joined V2 Aviation in March 2020, after working as a consultant supporting several major clients through their new engine and engine maintenance program evaluation processes and negotiation with the engine manufacturers. 

At V2 Aviation, John is responsible for working primarily with airline and lessor clients. In this position, he advises on the strategic, technical, and commercial tactical aspects of engine and engine maintenance program options. These tactics are then developed into a negotiation strategy on their behalf to secure favorable terms with the engine manufacturers and maintenance providers.

John brings over two decades of commercial aviation negotiation experience to the V2 team. His asset management experience covers lease negotiation and, specifically, experience in creating end-of-lease commercial solutions where engines are enrolled in power-by-the-hour programs which are, generally, sub-optimal to maintain from an asset owner’s perspective. 

John lives with his wife and three children in rural Derbyshire in the UK and enjoys walking, the outdoors, and in his spare time is a steam locomotive fireman on a local heritage railway.
