DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Amedeo is pleased to announce the expansion of its platform into the
Japanese market with the opening of Amedeo Tokyo. The Amedeo Tokyo
Branch will foster continued growth in Amedeo’s capabilities in both
aircraft asset management, new business origination, sourcing of debt
and equity opportunities and principal aircraft investment.
In connection with the opening of the Branch, Masahiro Mita and Kinichi
Yuki have joined the Amedeo team in Tokyo, as General Manager of the
Tokyo Branch and Senior Finance Consultant respectively.
“High Japanese savings rates, further driven by an aging and wealthy
population, will continue and will increase investment into aviation and
other alternative asset classes,” added Mark Lapidus, Chairman & CEO of
Amedeo. “I am also delighted to welcome Mita-san and Yuki-san “back”
into our team, renewing our successful working history from the last
decade.”
Mita-san joins most recently from DVB, where he was Senior Vice
President. Previously he worked at RBS, Citibank’s Asset Finance Group,
and Marubeni Corporation. Yuki-san’s illustrious career included the
first Japanese Leverage Lease (placed for Cathay Pacific) in 1985, the
beginning of Japanese investments in aircraft, and encompasses time at
Standard Chartered, DVB, and Citibank, to name just a few.
