Principals With Sovereign Experience

Every client works directly with a principal advisor. There are no junior associates sitting between you and the expert guiding your programme.

Capt. Ivan Klugman

Principal Advisor

35 years of wide-body airline operations brought to every advisory engagement. Capt. Klugman has led acquisition mandates for Boeing BBJ, Airbus ACJ, and widebody VIP platforms on behalf of sovereign clients, royal households, and corporate operators worldwide, and has personally supervised completion programmes at major centres across the United States and Europe. His operational depth translates directly into commercial leverage for clients navigating technically complex sovereign transactions.

Michael Bonventre

Senior Technical Advisor & FAA DAR-T

A federal appointment as an FAA Designated Airworthiness Representative (DAR-T) enables Aviation Asset Advisors to issue FAA airworthiness certificates directly for cross-border sovereign transactions. His 37-year career spans military and civilian platforms across rotary and fixed-wing operations. A credentialed NAAA Senior Appraiser with full USPAP endorsement, he provides the appraisal authority that sovereign fleet management and financing transactions require.
