Susan joined Azorra in December 2024 and serves as our Senior Vice President – Operations.

Susan has over 30 years of experience in commercial aircraft leasing, and prior to Azorra, served as the Chief Operating Officer at Zephyrus Aviation Capital where she directed all aspects of legal, compliance, insurance, IT, systems, facilities, and administration operations.

Susan’s aviation career began at International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC), where she advanced from finance to contract management, and subsequently held legal and transaction management roles at Fafinski Mark & Johnson, CIT Aerospace, Avolon and Castlelake.

When not entrenched in all things aviation, Susan can often be found rehearsing or performing as part of a yacht rock cover band in Minneapolis, and at least once a year, with the ISTAT band.
