IBA has filled two senior positions within the Technical and Asset Management area and simultaneously announces the upcoming retirement of Technical Director Paul Brooker at the end of March 2026.
Denis Brailsford (left) has been appointed Head of Technical and Asset Management. Since joining IBA in 2021, he has successfully led the Asset Management team, achieving strong operational performance and growth within the company. In his expanded role, he will oversee the Technical and Asset Management departments to strengthen integration within IBA’s service offerings and enhance value for customers.
Additionally, Ross Armour (right) has been promoted to Head of Technical Services. Ross has played a central role in the success of IBA’s technical management operations, frequently leading multiple complex projects in consulting, remarketing, and portfolio engagements. In his new role, he will focus on further developing and expanding IBA’s Technical Services practice to assist clients in managing fleet transitions, leasing events, and asset lifecycle management.
Paul Brooker will retire at the end of March 2026 after more than 13 years at IBA. Since joining the company, he has played a crucial role in the growth of the Technical Management department, contributing to managed portfolio activities, remarketing engagements, consulting assignments, and valuation projects. He will continue to support IBA on selected projects to ensure continuity and leverage his extensive experience.
Gerry Gualtieri, CEO of IBA, commented on the changes: “I want to thank Paul for his outstanding contribution to IBA over the past 13 years. His technical expertise, leadership, and commitment to our clients have helped shape the strength and reputation of our company. While we will certainly miss him in our day-to-day operations, we are pleased that he will continue to work with us after a well-deserved break and share his knowledge.”
Gualtieri also congratulated Denis and Ross on their promotions: “Both are highly respected leaders within the organization, and these promotions reflect not only their individual talents but also our confidence in the continued growth of IBA’s technical and asset management capabilities.”
